How long does a CEREC appointment take?

A CEREC appointment is completed in a single visit that can take as little as 60-90 minutes! You can walk in with a damaged or broken tooth and walk out of the practice with a seamless, natural-looking and permanent restoration in just one day.

How long do CEREC restorations last?

With proper care, CEREC restorations can last around 10-15 years and often even longer. It is important to look after them properly and attend regular dental check-ups so your dentist can keep an eye on your restoration and the tooth underneath.

CEREC restorations are just as safe as traditional ones. The ceramic is biocompatible, meaning it is not harmful and is well-tolerated by your body.

Can CEREC be used for front teeth?

Yes, CEREC is excellent for front teeth because the ceramic material is highly aesthetic and can be colour-matched to your natural enamel. However, for extremely complex cosmetic cases, your dentist might still recommend a lab-made crown to achieve the most intricate level of detail.

What does CEREC treatment involve?

We begin by removing any existing fillings or crowns and ensuring your tooth is ready for treatment. We use advanced CAD/CAM technology to take a scan of your teeth and create a digital 3D image.

Using the precise image, we design your new restoration with complete accuracy. When you are happy with the design, it is sent to our on-site machine and milled from ceramic material while you wait.

When your restoration is ready, we check it looks great and feels comfortable before bonding it securely to your tooth using strong dental adhesive.
