CEREC
Your dental restoration in a single day
CEREC is the system that lets us make crowns, inlays and veneers on site, without sending anything to an outside lab.
A conventional crown means an impression, a temporary that often comes loose, two or three weeks of waiting and a second appointment. With CEREC there is none of that: the intraoral scanner takes the measurement in a few minutes, the design happens in front of you, and the milling unit cuts the piece from a ceramic block while you wait.
The result is a single-piece ceramic restoration, with no joins or layers that can come apart over the years, fitted from a digital model rather than a silicone impression that can distort.
How we do it, step by step
- 1
Intraoral scan
A small camera runs over the tooth and builds a 3D model. No impressions, no paste.
- 2
Design
We design the piece on the digital model, fitting it to your bite.
- 3
Milling
The milling unit cuts the piece from a ceramic block in the clinic's own lab.
- 4
Staining
We adjust the colour and shading so it cannot be told apart from the teeth beside it.
- 5
Furnace
The final firing gives it its hardness and shine. Now it can be cemented.
