How does it work?
An incredibly accurate digital image of your teeth is taken. The work needed is planned on a computer. Solid blocks of ceramic material, which are among the hardest of all tooth coloured materials, are designed into beautifully fitted inlays, onlays, partial crowns, full anterior and posterior crowns or veneers. You see everything that is happening on the advanced computer screen using 3D software. Cerec will then precision mill the ceramic block.
We use advanced bonding systems to fuse the custom created restoration to your prepared natural tooth.
This superb new technology allows us to conserve much more of your natural tooth tissue than was possible before. It also allows us to perform an extended range of effective, clinically tested treatments. With over 10 million restorations placed worldwide, Cerec is rapidly becoming a treatment of choice over conventional tooth coloured fillings.
The CEREC procedure step-by-step
- Before treatment begins we inform you fully about the benefits
- After removing the decayed tissue or the defective amalgam filling, we create a 3D image of the tooth using the CEREC camera
- Your restoration is designed on the dedicated CEREC monitor
- We use the CEREC milling machine to create the restoration from a solid ceramic block
- We bond the new, perfectly formed restoration to your tooth to complete the treatment
