We'll then take a digital dental scan of your mouth so that we know exactly how to manufacture your restoration. From there, your specific restoration will be sent to the CEREC system to be milled. The amount of time needed to create your dental restoration will be dependent on its dimensions. Once it is developed, our team at Theodore E Dando DMD Family & Cosmetic Dentistry can finish and polish the piece before cementing it in position. We then modify the restoration so it is comfortable and matches your natural teeth.
