Cerec provides precise tailor-made teeth fixtures
CEREC is a modern, high-tech alternative to traditional dental crowns. A 3D scan is taken of your tooth so that a crown can be cut from a solid ceramic block, removing the need for uncomfortable impressions. The precision of this system allows for an accurate fitting of the crown which bonds to your own tooth.
The benefits of CEREC restorations are:
- Minimal loss of healthy tooth structure compared to other restorative methods
- Only one visit is required
- No impressions required
- No temporary crowns or temporary fillings required
- Metal-free and bio-compatible materials
- Highly aesthetic- natural tooth colour and shine
- Stronger than composite resin tooth coloured restorations
- Long lasting
CEREC restorations can be used to:
- Replace old amalgam restorations that are breaking down
- Cover heavily filled teeth to prevent further cracks, splits and fractures
- Replace natural tooth structure that has been damaged or lost due to decay or tooth wear
- Improve the appearance of heavily filled teeth
