CEREC®

CEREC® (Ceramic Reconstruction) is advanced dental technology we use to fabricate ceramic dental restorations like crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, and onlays on-site while you wait.

Using computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) and manufacturing, we can produce and fit accurate, high quality restorations on the same day which means you can leave the practice with a beautiful inlay, onlay, crown, veneer, or bridge after just one appointment.

What are the benefits of CEREC® Technology?

• Only one appointment required
• no need for messy putty impressions
• no need for temporary crowns that keep coming off
• highly accurate fitting crowns and inlays
• perfect designs using CAD/CAM technology

What should I expect during a CEREC® restoration?

We examine your tooth and determine the appropriate treatment. Next, we administer an anaesthetic and prepare your tooth for restoration, removing decayed and weakened tooth tissue. Then we take a digital 3D scan of your teeth and gums. The CEREC computer will design the crown or inlay. We will than perfect the design before we transfer this information to the CEREC® milling machine, which will automatically manufacture your prosthesis to match your tooth-shade. We use high quality E.max and Empress porcelains by Ivoclar Vivadent.

Once it is ready, we position it, ensuring it fits correctly and you can bite down properly, before bonding it securely into place.

How long does a CEREC® restoration last?

Because they are made of durable porcelain, CEREC® restorations can last for upwards of 20 years with the proper care and regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
