A CEREC (Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic) is a computerized software and milling unit which produces restorations such as veneers, crowns, large fillings and replacement of old silver fillings. A CEREC looks like a natural tooth, is extremely durable and fits precisely. Unsightly amalgam fillings can be replaced with CEREC restorations in one visit.
A natural looking and biocompatible ceramic material is metal free meaning eliminating unsightly black gum lines.
