Here at Smart Dental Care we always embrace the latest advances in dental technology to offer our patients the best treatments available.
CEREC is one of the latest advances in cosmetic dentistry that enables us to fabricate crowns, inlays and onlays in our onsite ceramic studio during a single visit within about an hour.
During the procedure a digital impression of your tooth to be treated is taken, your new tooth is designed using the latest 3D imaging software and then it is milled onsite from a high quality block of ceramic before being fitted.
This groundbreaking technology has already proven very successful.
There are several advantages to having treatment with CEREC over conventional, laboratory-made restorations:
Everything is carried out in a single visit - you only need to visit the dentist once - take one day away from your work or life to have the procedure - instead of the usual two or three visits.
Only one set of local anesthetic injections - since the entire procedure can be carried out within the hour, you only need to have one lot of injections.
Your dentist is in complete control of the final result - since the crown or veneer is designed and fabricated from start to finish by your dentist, he/she has total control over how it will look and fit, whereas a crown made in a laboratory is under the control of the technician who hasn't even seen the patient.
No temporary restorations - if you have lab-made veneers, you would require temporary veneers during the wait for your new teeth. These have been known to fall off and cause problems, which is a step that is omitted with CEREC restorations.
