CEREC is a dental technology which allows patients to receive a dental crown in a single visit to the dentist’s office rather than multiple appointments.

In this video, Dr. Curt Travis explains how CEREC utilizes a 3-dimensional imaging system to create an exact replica of the tooth to be replaced out of a ceramic material. This is then bonded to the tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive that makes the tooth stronger and more beautiful.
