CEREC Restorations from Dr. Jones Offers More Than Just convenience

In recent decades, dentistry has evolved so significantly that patients of all ages have more ways to prevent dental problems, repair damage, and enhance the look of the smile. The value of dental treatments offered today is gauged by their ability to improve the patient's oral health or smile in a way that is better than previously possible.


CEREC has improved the dental experience for millions of people. What most people know about CEREC restorations from their dentist is that this type of care is extremely convenient. The in-house design and fabrication of restorations cuts out an entire office visit. 

This is not the only reason people choose CEREC treatment over standard lab processed restorations.

• The high-quality ceramic material used for CEREC restorations has many characteristics of natural tooth enamel. These similarities lead to a more natural smile and gentleness to opposing teeth. Though CEREC restorations are not hard or abrasive enough to wear down surrounding teeth, they are strong enough to handle the force exerted when chewing.
• Because CEREC's ceramic material expands and contracts in a similar fashion to natural enamel, these restorations facilitate a precise, long-lasting fit.
• CEREC stands out not only with material but also for the benefits that come from technological advances. Ceramic restorations are held in place within a large cavity through a bonding process. Bonding the restoration to the tooth creates a seamless structure, thereby significantly reducing any risk of bacterial penetration. Traditional amalgam fillings are not bonded to teeth, they are held in place structurally. This means that significant amounts of healthy tooth structure must be removed. With CEREC restorations, only tissue that has been damaged is removed.
• A priority of Dr. Jones when repairing teeth is to create long-lasting function and beauty. CEREC restorations were first used in the early 1980s. Many of these first restorations are still intact, with no signs of wearing down.
• A priority of patients receiving restorative treatment is attractiveness. No one wants their smile to look fake. CEREC restorations are color-matched to the patient's natural shade, and look very much like natural enamel in translucency and sheen. With this type of care, natural beauty is retained.
