Embracing CEREC Technological

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology has redefined the way we approach oral health. CEREC Crowns have eliminated the need for multiple visits to the dentist, these custom crowns bring efficiency, precision, and convenience to the forefront of dentistry.

 

Traditionally, if you required a dental crown the process would span across a couple of appointments. The messy impressions were enough to put anyone off! CEREC crowns, however, have disrupted this as they offer a streamlined, one-visit solution.

 

How CEREC work:

1. Digital Impressions: Instead of using traditional moulds to make the crown, CEREC uses a digital impression. The handheld intra-oral scanner is used to capture a highly accurate 3D image of the patient's teeth, bite and gums.

 

2. Design Phase: The dentist uses CAD software to design a custom crown. This includes adjusting the shape, size and contours of the crown to achieve optimal functionality and aesthetics.

 

3. Milling Process: Once the design is finalised, the crown is sent electronically to the milling unit. The dentist will select a high-quality ceramic block to be carved using this specialised machine. The milling process is quick and precise only taking a matter of minutes to craft the new crown.

 

 4. Final Polishing: Once the milling process has been completed, the crown undergoes one final polishing stage. This stage enhances the appearance and texture of the crown to mimic enamel.

 

 5. Immediate Placement: When the crown is ready, it can be immediately placed and bonded to the teeth. Eliminating temporary crowns or waiting for a couple of weeks for a dental laboratory to fabricate the restoration.

 

The Benefits Of CEREC.

  • Saves Times: The most apparent advantage is the convenience of a single visit to the dentist. Patients can attend the surgery with a damaged tooth and leave with a fully functioning smile in just one appointment.

  • Digital Impressions: Compared to the traditional methods of impression taking, digital impressions are faster more comfortable and less messy!

  • Precision and Customisation: CAD/CAM technology is incredibly meticulous. This ensures a snug fit, and adjustments can be made with precise detail.

  • Natural Aesthetics: The ceramic material which is used in CEREC crowns imitates the colour and natural translucency of the teeth. This ensures that the crown blends seamlessly with the natural teeth.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Traditional impression procedures generated waste from the putty and disposable trays. Digital impressions eliminate that waste.

 

CEREC Crowns have revolutionised the way we do dentistry. These crowns are remarkably efficient and precise. They are environmentally conscious as the digital impression reduces waste. The single-visit convenience and the incredibly pleasing aesthetic results have made CEREC a game changer within dentistry.
