What is involved?

The dentist uses a digital scanner (similar to a small camera) to record an optical impression of the tooth that requires treatment. The restoration is the custom designed by the dentist and the information transferred to the milling unit. From here, your restoration is milled from an individual block of porcelain- exactly as we designed on the computer. It is then bonded to the tooth, giving you a natural looking, long lasting restoration.

What are the benefits of CEREC?

• Strong, durable, long lasting fillings or crowns.
• No more messy moulds in your mouth.
• No two week wait for the laboratory to make your restoration, and therefore – no wearing an uncomfortable temporary for two weeks.
• Completely metal free and biocompatible.
• Only one appointment.
