The CEREC system is computer based 3D imaging software which allows us to scan your teeth and create a beautiful ceramic restoration (crowns or inlays) in one simple visit.
We also recommend the CEREC system in place of large white filling as the CEREC crowns will support the remaining tooth’s structure and won’t stain, wear down or shrink.
The CEREC system
The restoration created on the computer is milled from a ceramic block and the finished ceramic restoration is inserted just a little while later.
Long-term stability
More than just a theory
With CEREC you can rely on quality that has been proven millions of times over in the practice. Furthermore, thanks to your new dental prosthesis made by CEREC, your smile will be just as lovely many years later as it is directly after receiving the prosthesis.
No unpleasant impression material
Say goodbye to biting on impression material for several minutes, having a numb mouth and jaw ache. Your dentist now has a camera that can capture your full dentition in seconds and then transfer this to the computer.
No bothersome temporary prosthesis
Temporary prostheses are exactly what the name suggests: temporary. With CEREC the final prosthesis is inserted directly without any temporary compromises needed.
No follow-up appointment
CEREC enables your dentist to insert esthetic ceramic crowns or partial crowns in a single session.
The advantage of this is that only one appointment is necessary, which means only one injection, and then you can deal with other things than visits to the dentist.
Like a real tooth
Due to the translucency of ceramics, the dental prosthesis looks like a real tooth.
In a ceramic dental prosthesis, no dark edges are visible as is so often the case in conventional crowns.
Ceramic is very close to the hardness of the natural tooth, thus preventing wear of the tooth, which unfortunately so often occurs with other materials.
Ceramic is very well tolerated so allergic reactions are largely excluded. This is not the case with other methods and materials.
The CEREC method is a gentle treatment for your teeth. Only the carious tooth surface is removed. The remaining healthy tooth substance is preserved.

DOES IT HURT TO GET A CROWN FITTED?
We use a local anesthetic during the procedure so you shouldn’t feel any pain at all. However, some patients may experience some slight sensitivity for a short time after the crown has been fitted but it should go away on its own in a few days time. You can also manage any discomfort with an over the counter painkiller such as paracetamol or ibuprofen.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FIT MY CROWN?
If you are having a CEREC system crown made, we can create and fit it in one sitting. You will go home with your Cerec crown fitted on the same day.
ARE CROWNS DIFFICULT TO CARE FOR?
Taking care of your new crown is as simple as looking after your own natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing will keep the crown free from debris and the gums around it healthy. Occasionally, crowns may need a slight re-adjustment but otherwise it should look and feel strong and natural.
Advice for Aftercare
The effects of local anaesthetic should last for 3 – 4 hours. To avoid damaging your cheeks, tongue and lips avoid chewing and taking any hot drinks until the numbness has worn off.
