What is CEREC?

CEREC is a technology for restoring damaged teeth and can be completed in a single visit to Dr. Grimaldi's office. It makes your teeth stronger and more beautiful — all while keeping your teeth looking natural. The restoration is metal-free and the high-grade ceramic material is compatable with the natural tissue found in your mouth.

CEREC: Creating Excellent Restorations Efficiently Chairside.

The CEREC Process

First, Dr. Grimaldi will meet with you to discuss the details of the procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Grimaldi will apply a thin layer of reflective powder onto your tooth and will use a special camera to take a photo of your tooth. Using Computer Aided Design, the photo serves as a map to design your tooth's restoration. Then CEREC will use a diamond bur and disk-work to create the restoration piece out of ceramic. Finally, the ceramic restoration is bonded to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.
