CAD CAM Ceramic dentistry: CEREC (CEramic REConstruction)
Many years ago, dentists had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals. With state of the art technology such as CEREC, Dr. Yi now have the ability to make non-metal based, ceramic crowns that are just as strong as natural tooth. These ceramic materials closely match the composition of natural tooth structure. This means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration and tooth expand and contract at almost equal rates. Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so Dr. Yi can save as much healthy tooth structure as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth. Since Dr. Yi is fabricating CEREC crowns while respecting traditional prosthodontic method using microscope, it usually takes 2-3 days to complete them. However he also provides a single visit CEREC restorative care under the specific circumstances.
