The CEREC milling unit fabricates the permanent restoration from a solid block of ceramic, then glazes it in a special oven at 1500 degrees. Using the digital scan, a 3-D model of the tooth will be generated by utilizing state-of-the-art CAD software, allowing us to design the crown chairside. To start, the tooth will be prepared for a crown, and a digital image will be taken of the tooth with a specialized camera that is accurate up to 15 microns (roughly 1/2000th of an inch!).
