Cerec

Other treatments

Silver or gold amalgam no longer necessary

Cerec restoration matched to natural tooth

Modern bonding and gluing techniques have enabled us to deliver superb cosmetic results, most commonly via a veneer, crown and inlay, which are made at a dental laboratory. Whilst the permanent crown is prepared, the patient leaves wearing a well fitting, aesthetically pleasing temporary crown.

In some cases, the ‘Cerec’ technology allows us to prepare, manufacture and fit the restoration in one visit.

There are several appreciable benefits to this:

  • No impressions needed
  • No problems with temporary restorations
  • No need for return visit
  • No need for further anaesthesia
  • Dentist has full control over final aesthetic result.
  • Improved fit of restoration

    • Procedure

  • Local aneasthetic
  • Tooth preparation
  • 3D scan of the tooth
  • New restoration is milled from a solid block of porcelain
  • Restoration is bonded on to tooth
  • Final finishing, polishing and glazing of restoration

    • Advantages of Cerec

  • Old amalgam fillings removed and replaced in one visit with ‘Cerec’ inlays.
  • Discoloured or old looking teeth can be restored with ‘Cerec’ veneers.
  • The results show a more attractive and younger looking set of teeth.

    • Don’t hesitate to contact the surgery for any more information or appointments.
