CEREC® System FAQs
ABOUT CEREC® SYSTEMS
Q: What is a CEREC® system?
A: CEREC® (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a CAD/CAM dental system developed by Dentsply Sirona that allows dental practices to design, mill, and deliver same-day ceramic restorations — crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays — in a single appointment. No temporaries, no second visits, no lab fees.
Q: How much does a CEREC® system cost?
A: New CEREC® systems from authorized dealers typically start above $150,000. A certified pre-owned CEREC® wet/dry combo system from CAD/CAM Center is available at $79,900 — less than half the price of a new equivalent system, with a 1-year bumper-to-bumper warranty included.
Q: What can a CEREC® system do for my dental practice?
A: A CEREC® system allows your practice to mill e.max crowns in as little as 9 minutes chairside, eliminate dependence on dental labs, reduce patient appointments, and generate significant in-house revenue per restoration. Most practices recover their investment within the first year of use.
Q: Is CEREC® technology still relevant in 2026?
A: Yes. CEREC® remains the most widely used chairside CAD/CAM system in dentistry. Dentsply Sirona continues to release software updates compatible with existing hardware, meaning certified pre-owned units remain fully functional and clinically current.
ABOUT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CEREC® SYSTEMS
Q: What does "certified pre-owned" mean for a CEREC® system?
A: A certified pre-owned CEREC® system has been professionally inspected, tested, and verified before resale. At CAD/CAM Center, every unit undergoes a rigorous certification process covering hardware, milling performance, scanner calibration, and software functionality.
Q: What is the difference between a certified pre-owned and a refurbished CEREC® system?
A: "Refurbished" is a broad term with no standard definition in dental equipment. "Certified pre-owned" means the unit has passed a documented inspection and performance protocol. Every CAD/CAM Center system is certified pre-owned — not simply cleaned and resold.
Q: Are certified pre-owned CEREC® systems reliable?
A: Yes. CAD/CAM Center has sold 300+ systems to 800+ dental practices across the United States. Every system includes a 1-year bumper-to-bumper warranty covering parts and labor.
Q: What warranty comes with a certified pre-owned CEREC® system from CAD/CAM Center?
A: Every system includes a 1-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. This is the most comprehensive warranty available in the certified pre-owned CEREC® segment.
