Dental Technology | CEREC
CEREC is an advanced dental technology system that allows our practice to design, create, and place high-quality ceramic restorations in a single visit. Using digital imaging and computer-assisted design and manufacturing, CEREC enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and comfort of dental crown and bridge procedures, implant restorations, and other restorative treatments. This innovative system eliminates the need for traditional impressions and temporary restorations, offering patients a faster and more streamlined experience.
In restorative dentistry and implantology, precision and predictability are essential for long-term success. CEREC supports this by integrating high-resolution imaging, advanced software, and in-office milling capabilities, ensuring that each restoration is customized with exceptional accuracy and tailored to the patient’s unique oral anatomy.
CEREC’s digital workflow begins with detailed 3D imaging, which captures the exact dimensions of the teeth and surrounding structures. This allows our team to design restorations with optimal fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics. The digital impression process is more comfortable for patients and eliminates the inaccuracies that can occur with traditional molds. Once the design is finalized, CEREC’s in-office milling unit fabricates the restoration using durable, tooth-coloured ceramic materials. This ensures that crowns, bridges, or implant restorations can be placed on the same day without waiting for an external laboratory.
One of the key benefits of CEREC is its ability to improve the precision of implant-supported restorations. By using highly accurate digital scans and design tools, our team can create implant crowns that fit precisely with the abutment and implant base. This enhances the overall stability, function, and appearance of the final restoration while minimizing the need for adjustments.
Additionally, CEREC supports advanced visualization features that help our dental team evaluate the tooth structure, surrounding tissue, and restoration design. These tools improve treatment planning by ensuring that restorations meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. Because CEREC restorations are created from strong ceramic materials, they offer long-lasting durability and a natural-looking appearance that blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
In today’s rapidly advancing field of dental implantology and restorative dentistry, CEREC represents a significant improvement in how treatments are planned, created, and delivered. Its ability to produce precise, same-day restorations enhances patient convenience, reduces treatment time, and improves long-term outcomes. CEREC is an essential component of our commitment to providing high-quality, modern dental care that supports patient satisfaction and treatment success.
