1. Conservative in nature

This is because the amount of tooth substance reduced is minimal.

Hence as much of your natural tooth as possible is preserved.

 

2. Durable and compatible

The digital imaging which picks up every minute detail of your tooth’s anatomy along

with precision in fabrication contribute to the durability of CEREC crowns and fillings.

In addition, The material has excellent biocompatibility with your natural teeth.

The strength of the material means it offers sound longevity when cared for with

regular cleans and check-ups.

 

3. You don’t need a temporary crown

As the whole procedure occurs within a single appointment at our dental surgery,

there is no need to place a temporary crown and wait two weeks as necessary with

conventional, laboratory manufactured porcelain restorations.

 

4. Completed in a single appointment

There is no need to visit your dentist twice or thrice for a dental crown. CEREC technology saves you time and offers you maximum comfort. Due to the functionality of the digital imaging technology used, you don’t need to have physical impressions/moulds taken of your teeth.It also eliminates the need for a bite registration. This makes the whole process more comfortable, especially if you are one of the many people who are uncomfortable with impressions being taken or has a strong gag reflex.

 

5. They look natural

Your custom made CEREC restorations are milled from tooth coloured porcelain which comes in a variety of shades to match the natural colour of your teeth. No more obvious and unsightly dark fillings.

6. The Restoration Material of choice to replace worn, cracked or lost fillings

CEREC technology is not just useful in a dental emergency when you suffer a cracked or broken tooth or a lost filling and need it fixed quickly and conveniently. The old mercury fillings many of us have in our teeth are strong, but also expand and contract every time you have something hot or cold, just like the mercury in a thermometer rises and falls with changes in temperature. Our teeth, however, are not very flexible, and this thermal instability leads to cracks in your natural teeth which have been filled with the now outdated amalgam mercury material! Due to the strength and durability of the porcelain, CEREC restorations are our material of choice when you either need or choose to have old and potentially leaking mercury or composite fillings replaced.
