CEREC Crowns & Veneers in Brisbane
Ready to achieve a picture-perfect smile that looks great and functions wonderfully? With the advanced CEREC® system, one-day crowns and veneers are now available, as well as bridges and ceramic fillings.
How the CEREC Process Works
The CEREC machines use CAD/CAM technology to create perfect, lifelike restorations. Essentially, it is a computer, camera, and ceramic mill rolled into one that creates precision 3D restorations.
This precise, fast, and efficient process turns a problem tooth or a gap into a perfectly restored smile – in just a few hours! There’s no need to fit a temporary crown or multiple visits to squeeze into your busy schedule. Our skilled dentists will ensure your restoration is the perfect shade and fits perfectly.
Our advanced CEREC system can help with restorations such as
- One-day Crowns - if you need a ceramic or Zirconia crown, CEREC is a fast and precise option. First is the tooth preparation for the crown, then the site, opposing jaw and the bite are scanned. Our dentist then designs the crown and sends the design to the milling machine, which mills the crown out of a ceramic block, like zirconia.
- One-day Bridges - the advancements in CEREC technology have made zirconia ceramic blocks available, allowing us to construct strong, well-fitting, two and three-unit bridges in one day using the same procedure as one-day crowns. A dental bridge closes the gap between a missing tooth/teeth and the remaining teeth.
- Inlays/Onlays - if a large part of a tooth is lost for any reason, for example, due to extensive decay, failed fillings or fracture, fixing the tooth with composite filling material is not the best option in the long term. In these cases, inlays or onlays, which are hybrid ceramic fillings, are made outside the mouth and cemented on the tooth.
- One-day Veneers - in some cases, we can make beautiful hybrid or full ceramic veneers with CEREC. However, you must be a good candidate for this restoration. For example, the bite should be okay, and there should not be severe discolouration or misalignment of the teeth.
