By Michael Leonard


The modern technology has made almost everything to be easy and fast. Dental reconstruction has even become easier and faster because a patient will only visit a dentist once. Therefore, the teeth can be restored within a single appointment compared to the traditional procedures. The Dental Veneers And Laminates In West Los Angeles procedure are now available, and most people prefer it over the traditional one. This modern dental technology is also called CEREC or chair side ceramics, and a big number of dentists, as well as patients, are now embracing it.

Typically, the veneers are designed and manufactured using the computer, and although this technology has been there for a long time, it was not as famous as it is now. It encompasses everything from the preparation of these teeth to the fixing all done in a single appointment. Therefore, one does not need to revisit the dentist because the procedure will be completed upon the first visit.

In addition to that, this technology is considered to be better as compared to traditional fitting methods. This is because the time reburied to complete the procedure is very little as one can be treated within just a few hours. It is thus very appropriate for people who have tight schedules because they will only visit the dentist once.

The tooth is usually prepared using a small special camera that is referred to as intraoral digital camera. The camera takes some 3D images of the tooth. The images are then transferred to a computer, and a 3D digital image of a tooth is developed using the precise measurements from the pictures. This camera is normally very comfortable thus one will not feel uncomfortable when it is used.

Then, the design is edited for every precision like indentations, pits, ridges, and fissures, etc. When the final design has been made, a replica of the design is made using a milling machine to make the CEREC. The preparation of the artificial tooth takes only a few minutes, and the dentist glues it to your mouth.

Normally, there are some few advantages of the procedure such as the comfort of the procedure. More so, the procedure is time-saving hence a person only visits a dentist once, and everything is completed within the day. Also, the cost of appointments will also be reduced, and the cost of fitting temporary teeth is also reduced since everything is completed in one appointment.

This kind of technology is the best choice because it is possible to restore the looks of a person within a short period. Injury cases are also reduced because drilling will be reduced. The teeth will be stronger as well, and the decaying of teeth will be reduced as well.

However, the CERECs have some few shortcomings. For instance, they may not be as strong as the metal fittings that were used before. The metal fittings were usually made from some alloys. Thus they bonded strongly with the tooth and increased their resistance. More so, in case of fractures below the gum, the metal fittings are better than CEREC.
