The CEREC® Design & Milling Process

Receiving a custom dental restoration no longer has to involve multiple appointments, temporary restorations, and weeks of waiting. At Roswell Wellness Dentistry, CEREC technology allows us to design, create, and place many dental restorations in a single visit. By combining advanced digital imaging, computer-guided design, and precise in-office milling, we can restore damaged teeth efficiently while maintaining exceptional quality and aesthetics.

Patients throughout Roswell, GA appreciate the convenience of completing treatment in one appointment without sacrificing comfort or precision. Every step of the CEREC process is carefully planned to create a restoration that looks natural, functions comfortably, and fits your smile.

Digital Scanning Captures Every Detail

The CEREC process begins with a digital scan of your teeth instead of traditional impression materials. Using an advanced intraoral scanner, we capture highly detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth and bite.

Digital scanning offers several important advantages:

  • Greater comfort without messy impression materials.
  • Highly detailed images for improved precision.
  • Immediate visualization of your teeth and surrounding structures.
  • Faster treatment planning from the beginning.

These digital images become the foundation for designing your custom restoration.

Computer-Guided Design Creates A Personalized Restoration

Once your digital scan is complete, specialized CEREC software is used to design your restoration. Every crown, bridge, or other restoration is customized to match your individual smile rather than relying on standard shapes or sizes.

During the design phase, we carefully evaluate:

  • Tooth shape and proportions.
  • Bite alignment and function.
  • Contact with neighboring teeth.
  • Overall appearance and smile harmony.

Because the design is created digitally, adjustments can be made with remarkable precision before the restoration is manufactured.

Precision Milling Happens Right In Our Office

After the design is finalized, the information is sent directly to the CEREC milling unit. Using a solid block of high-quality ceramic selected to match your natural tooth color, the milling machine carefully carves your restoration according to the digital design.

The milling process is highly accurate and typically completed during your appointment. Because everything takes place in our office, there is no need to send impressions to an outside laboratory or wait for your final restoration to be returned.

Custom Finishing For A Natural Appearance

Once the restoration has been milled, our team carefully evaluates its fit, appearance, and function. Small refinements can be made as needed before the restoration is bonded into place.

Our goal is to ensure your restoration:

  • Blends naturally with surrounding teeth.
  • Feels comfortable when biting and chewing.
  • Supports proper function.
  • Provides long-lasting durability.

Attention to these final details helps create a restoration that both looks and feels natural.

Same-Day Placement Saves Time

One of the greatest advantages of the CEREC process is that treatment can often be completed during a single appointment. Instead of wearing a temporary restoration while waiting for a dental laboratory, patients frequently leave with their permanent restoration the very same day.

This streamlined process helps reduce:

  • Multiple office visits.
  • Temporary restorations.
  • Overall treatment time.
  • Disruptions to work and family schedules.

For many patients, this convenience makes restorative dentistry significantly easier.
