What is CEREC?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. As the name suggests, CEREC technology uses dental ceramics to create dental restorations like crowns, veneers, bridges and more. CEREC is usually used for swift dental restoration for decayed and damaged teeth.
However, CEREC technology is also now being used to create orthodontic appliances and teeth for dental implants.
Our CEREC dentist uses CAD/CAM, short for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, to design and manufacture restorations for your teeth,
With the help of CAD/ CAM technology, our dentist takes a complete digital 3D impression of your upper and lower teeth. Using the impression image of your teeth, our dentist designs your dental restoration to exact measurements. These measurements and data are then sent to a milling machine, where your dental restoration is made from a ceramic block. The shade is also selected at this stage to ensure that your dental restoration blends in perfectly with your remaining natural teeth.
What are the benefits of CEREC for your teeth?
CEREC has revolutionised dentistry with its precision and speed, allowing our dentists to provide more efficient and faster treatments. Opting for CEREC teeth at our dental clinic have multiple benefits, which include

- Less painful and less invasive as compared to traditional methods.
- No need to sit for messy impressions as CEREC utilises digital scanners to map your tooth structure.
- It is a conservative process and saves as much tooth structure as possible.

- Whether you have a crown, veneer, bridge, inlay or onlay, our CEREC dentist can provide all of these dental treatments in a single and same day visit.
CEREC Crowns
Dental crowns are placed on the top of your teeth and act as a teeth cap. CEREC crowns are used to protect and restore the shape, size, strength and functionality of damaged and decayed teeth. CEREC crowns are made of tooth coloured ceramic which is aesthetically pleasing and looks unquestionably natural looking. They elegantly restore damaged teeth and enhance your smile. Consult our CEREC dentist today to get your damaged teeth repaired on the same day you book an appointment.
CEREC inlays and onlays
Inlays and onlays are indirect dental restorations that are used to restore decayed teeth. When dental cavities are large, traditional dental fillings cannot reconstruct the strength of the tooth appropriately. In such instances, our dentist will advise you to go for CEREC inlays and onlays. After your dental decay is removed, our dentist will take the help of CAD/CAM to manufacture CEREC inlays and onlays. Once your indirect tooth restoration is ready, our dentist will place them on the intended tooth during your same-day appointment.
CEREC veneers
CEREC veneers are placed on the front surface of the teeth to cover up the discolouration, cracks and fill in small teeth gaps. CEREC veneers are durable and can last up to 30 years with proper care. They improve your smile and enhance facial esthetics. In addition, well-aligned and brighter teeth reduce wrinkles’ appearance, giving you a more youthful face. At our dental clinic, you can get your CEREC veneers fitted in a single visit.
CEREC dental bridges
You can now get your teeth replaced faster than ever with our same-day CEREC dental bridge treatments. CEREC dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth, which restores chewing, speech and the smile. With our same-day CEREC dental bridge treatment, you won’t have to live with missing teeth any longer. Our CEREC dentist will fit you with your dental bridge in a single appointment so that you leave our clinic with a wide and glowing smile.
CEREC Dental Implants
Dental implants are screw-shaped surgical fixtures over which a dental crown, bridge or denture is placed. Traditionally, you would have to wait a long time to get a prosthesis fitted on your implants. However, with CEREC, you can get your implant-supported crown, bridge and denture in a single visit. This saves your time and is more cost-efficient than traditional options.

CEREC Orthodontic appliances
Hate the way dentists put the gooey substance in your mouth to take an impression of your teeth? These dental impressions are needed to create a model of your teeth, which is used to design your braces. However, with CEREC, you don’t have to suffer through the ordeal of having a gooey impression substance in your mouth. Instead, with CEREC, our dentist uses digital scans to map out your jaw, which makes the process of getting braces much more comfortable and stress-free.
