CEREC dental technology VS traditional treatment

Traditional crown treatments usually take a week, or longer, and require two visits. The first visit involves taking manual dental impressions of your teeth which are sent away to a dental lab. While your permanent crown is being prepared there, you will need to wear a temporary crown. When you return for your second visit, it is replaced by your new crown, which is tested and cemented into place. CEREC (ceramic reconstruction) is a high-tech dental technology system that can design and produce high-quality dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, in minutes. Lengthy dental treatments can now be performed in a fraction of the usual time.

When are CEREC crowns recommended?

If your other teeth are stained or discoloured, there may be other dental restorative materials that provide more aesthetic options, especially for front tooth restorations. CEREC is a life changer.

How does the CEREC crown treatment system work?

Once your dentist has finished preparing your tooth to receive a crown, a quick 3D scan of your oral cavity is taken with a small pen-shaped intraoral 3D camera, called the CEREC Omnicam. The 3D data is then viewed on a computer screen. Your crown is then designed with the CEREC 3D modelling software. The completed 3D file of your new crown is exported to the in-house CEREC milling machine, which proceeds to carve out your crown from a single ceramic block right before your eyes. This takes about 15 minutes. When ready, your new CEREC crown is permanently bonded to your tooth.
