CEREC- A new crown in just 1 visit - Dr Peter McQuillan

Description:

CEREC, short for Chairside Economical Restoration for Esthetic Ceramics, is a machine dedicated to making precise ceramic crowns, onlays, inlays and bridges in just a couple of hours. The restorations are natural looking and match the colour of your teeth. Here is how the process works: First the tooth being fixed is prepared to be replaced, as it would with any other crown. This can involve removing any crack lines, tooth decay or old fillings. Then the dentist takes a digital impression of your tooth. This takes less than five minutes and you can breathe and swallow normally during the process. Once that is done, CEREC’s dedicated software turns that impression into a three-dimensional virtual model, which is used to make a customised restoration design more accurately than traditional crown construction. The crown design is completed in minutes, and is sent off to a CEREC automatic milling machine, which creates an accurate, natural looking tooth restoration that can be fitted that same day. Digital dentistry has been used by Harley Street Dental Studio and its dental experts to transform many smiles and make dream smiles reality.
