CEREC Restorations
Thanks to modern advancements in dental technology, it’s now possible to repair a damaged tooth in a single visit. CEREC restorations (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) use cutting-edge technology to design, fabricate, and place custom-made ceramic crowns, inlays, or veneers—all in one appointment. At Dr. Côté Cosmetic Dentistry in Gatineau, we’re proud to offer this fast, precise, and aesthetic treatment to our patients.

What Are CEREC Restorations?
CEREC restorations are made of ceramic and used to repair damaged or worn teeth. Unlike traditional methods, which require multiple visits and temporary crowns, this technology allows us to complete your treatment in a single session. It begins with a digital scan, followed by computer-assisted design and immediate placement of the ceramic piece.
This option is ideal for patients looking to avoid multiple appointments or temporary solutions while still receiving a durable and natural-looking restoration.

When Are CEREC Restorations Used?
LCEREC technology is suitable for addressing various dental issues, such as:
- Deep cavities requiring a crown or inlay
- Cracked or damaged teeth
- Cosmetic enhancements (e.g., ceramic veneers)
- Replacing old or worn amalgam fillings
The CEREC Treatment Process
Examination & Preparation
During your consultation, the dentist examines the affected tooth and removes any decayed or damaged tissue.
Digital Scan
A high-resolution intraoral camera captures a detailed 3D image of your tooth—no need for uncomfortable impression materials.
Computer-Assisted Design
Using specialized software, the dentist designs your restoration to match the natural shape and contours of your tooth.
On-Site Milling
The CEREC machine fabricates the restoration from a ceramic block in just a few minutes.
Placement
Once the piece is ready, it’s bonded to your tooth with a durable adhesive. After a few final adjustments and polishing, your treatment is complete.
