One day crowns and veneers
CEREC® stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.
CEREC can be used to make one day:
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Ceramic fillings (Onlay and Inlays)
- Veneers
One day Crowns:
If you need a ceramic or Zirconia crown, CEREC is a great option as it is fast and precise. The tooth will be prepared for the crown first, then the site, opposing jaw and the bite will be scanned. Your dentist then will design the crown and sends the design to the milling machine which will mill the crown out of a block of ceramic like zirconia. As your dentist is the one designing the crown so they know the exact shape of the prepared tooth so the outcome will be a perfect fitting crown that is strong and beautiful.
One day Bridges:
With advancements in CEREC technology, these days there are zirconia ceramic blocks available which has enabled us to make strong well-fitting 2 and 3 unit bridges in one day. The procedure is the same as one day crowns. A dental bridge is used to close the gap of a missing tooth/teeth between remaining teeth.
Inlays/Onlays:
For any reason, if a large part of the tooth is lost , for example as a result of large decay, failed fillings or fracture, fixing the tooth with composite filling material is not the best option in the long term. In these cases, hybrid ceramic fillings are made outside of the mouth and get cemented on teeth. these indirect fillings are called Inlays or Onlays.
One day Veneers:
In some cases when there is need for veneers, we can make beautiful hybrid or full ceramic veneers with CEREC. However, you should be a good candidate for that. For example, the bite should be ok or there should not be severe discoloration or malalignment of teeth.
What is a Cerec machine and how does it work?
The Cerec machines uses CAD/CAM technology to create perfect, lifelike restorations. Essentially it is a computer, camera and ceramic mill that creates precision 3D restorations rolled into one.:
- Turns a problem tooth or gap to a perfectly restored smile – in just a few hours!
