Why will you like CEREC, SAME DAY
Crown and Porcelain Fillings?
-
You save time without having to wait weeks. CEREC technology makes it possible to produce and integrate ceramic restorations in a single appointment. Without CEREC, traditional crowns, bridges, porcelain fillings or veneers require many hours in a dental chair as the dentist takes imprints of your teeth, using pastes and trays. Then, you come back to get them fitted. The process is lengthy and not exactly comfortable. Not so with CEREC!
-
It’s more compatible with your mouth. Ceramic is more biocompatible than amalgam or gold, and is more tooth-like in appearance and feel.
-
It’s more comfortable. The whole process is much more comfortable and less intrusive for you than traditional impressions.
-
It's long lasting. CEREC is strong and last just as long, if not longer, than traditional tooth coloured fillings and other laboratory-made restorations.
Precise digital imaging with CEREC makes the whole procedure faster, more accurate, and much more comfortable.
What is CEREC?
CEramic REConstruction is state-of-the-art technology that gives you fast, precise, accurate and comfortable crowns and porcelain restorations.
A small scanner takes photos and measurements. The CEREC computer processes this information using advanced CAD-CAM technology. A milling machine located onsite creates your crown with great precision and accuracy.
Once crafted, we fit the crown about 30-45 minutes later. You can even watch your crown being made.
No more messy impression material! No more gagging! No more temporary crowns. No more 2nd visit after three weeks. No more 2nd anaesthetic!
All of this care done at the one appointment*!
Not every dentist has CEREC technology and it is still quite rare in Melbourne.
Exactly what happens when you have CEREC treatments?
First, you will be settled in the comfortable dental chair. A small, precision wand-like intraoral scanner will take images and intricate measurements of your tooth and bite.
Now, using these images, the CEREC computer utilizes advanced CAD technology to generate a virtual 3D model of your bite, gums and teeth that you can see on the screen.
The model is passed to a milling machine where it is milled out of a colour-matched ceramic block in just 9 to 15 minutes. Your crowns and/or inlays are made with great accuracy and you’re even welcome to watch it being made.
Lastly, we add the finishing touches to the restoration by further colouring, polishing, and glazing. Then we fit your restorations immediately, sometimes within a matter of minutes!
Voila! A new smile!
