In case of a dental emergency, please call immediately!
We use this technology for teeth that need rebuilding from chips, cracks, disease and decay.
The technology works by creating porcelain ceramic material, used to effectively restore and renew your smile with stunning effects, conducted in a period of time that requires just one visit. What this essentially means is that you won’t have to endure unnecessary repeat assessment, treatment and injection to receive the best in tooth restoration.
With the use of CEREC technology, the need for messy and lengthy impressions and laboratory work are removed. The technology utilises the latest state-of-the-art CAD CAM technology to generate virtual impressions and create restorations from the information it processes.
At your appointment, the tooth that is in need of treatment is first prepared. An electronic 3D scan is then taken of the area and a ceramic restoration is designed in accordance with your scan.
CEREC restorations are then made from a durable porcelain material which gives teeth greater strength and stability and is very natural in appearance. Minimum tooth structure is removed and the rest is strengthened by bonding to a solid block of porcelain. After bonding and subsequent polishing is complete, the restored tooth looks and feels like a natural tooth.
The benefits of using CEREC are numerous, with crowns and veneers being easily created using this technology, and crooked or misshapen teeth being treated in a period of around ninety minutes.

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology is an advanced dental innovation that enables dentists to design, create, and place ceramic dental restorations like crowns and veneers in a single dental visit. Using CAD/CAM technology, a precise 3D digital scan of the prepared tooth eliminates the need for traditional impressions. Dentists then digitally design the restoration, which is milled from a block of ceramic material right in the dental office. This process allows for custom-fit restorations that match the natural colour and shape of the patient's teeth, providing durable, aesthetic results without the inconvenience of multiple appointments or temporary restorations.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) operates by first preparing the tooth for restoration, and then taking a precise 3D digital scan of the area using an intraoral scanner, which replaces traditional impressions. Using CAD/CAM technology, the dentist designs the restoration digitally, customising it to fit the tooth’s specifications for both function and aesthetics. Once the design is finalised, a milling machine in the dental office fabricates the restoration from a block of ceramic material in a matter of minutes. After ensuring the fit and colour match, the restoration is bonded to the tooth, completing the procedure in a single visit. This streamlined process eliminates the need for messy impressions, temporary restorations, and multiple appointments, providing patients with durable, natural-looking dental restorations efficiently and conveniently.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology offers several significant advantages in modern dentistry:
Overall, CEREC technology enhances the patient experience by reducing treatment time, improving accuracy, and delivering aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting dental restorations in a single dental visit.
