CEREC (CAD/CAM)

CEREC stands for Ceramic Reconstruction and is a system used to create dental prosthetics, especially dental crowns that are more conservative than traditional treatments. It uses computer-aided design and manufacturing to produce dental prosthetics in a single office visit.

At Maitland Dental Care, we provide same-day crowns and veneers. Because they’re custom-milled by a computer, there’s no need for dental impressions—saving time and possible discomfort.
