5 Amazing Facts About CEREC

Thursday, November 10th, 2016

Dentistry is a truly amazing field, which is advancing and evolving all the time. We’re proud to invest in incredible dental technology to bring our clients the best treatments out there. One of our most innovative treatments is same-day CEREC restorations. If you’re not familiar with CEREC, here are five amazing facts.

  1. CEREC enables us to offer same-day restorative treatment: usually, it takes around two weeks and separate treatment sessions to provide crown or veneer treatment. With CEREC, we can offer same-day treatment. CEREC takes care of every aspect of restorative treatment for us. We can design, fabricate and fit the new restoration in a single day.
  2. CEREC can be used to make bespoke veneers, inlays and onlays and crowns: CEREC is a versatile piece of kit, which enables us to make an array of different restorations. This means that we can offer same-day treatment to patients with varied restorative needs.
  3. CEREC enables us to do everything on-site: usually, when you need a new crown, for example, we create a putty mould, which is sent away to the laboratory. With CEREC, we do everything on-site.
  4. CEREC uses photographic images to form customised restorations: many people dislike the feel of dental putty in their mouth, and creating moulds can be an unpleasant and messy experience. With CEREC, we don’t need to do this. We can create new restoration using photographic images. CEREC converts these images into 3D templates, which are sent to the milling machine.
  5. CEREC improves accuracy: with putty impressions there’s always a marginal risk of inaccuracy. CEREC eliminates this and is therefore a more accurate way of creating custom-made restorations.

What Exactly is Cerec Technology?

Friday, April 24th, 2015

You may have heard dentists talking about the wonders of Cerec, but what exactly is Cerec and how could it benefit patients in Liverpool?

What exactly is Cerec?

Cerec is a form of advanced dental technology that gives dentists the ability to design and crate new bespoke restorations on-site. The process is incredibly quick and the technology takes care of all aspects of treatment, from the initial imaging and planning to the manufacture. Traditionally, patients who need a new crown or inlay visit their dentist and two weeks later, they have their restoration fitted. The stage in between takes place at a dental laboratory, where technicians use impressions of the tooth created by dentists, to make the new restoration. With Cerec, the entire process takes place at the clinic and the new restoration can be fitted in the same day.

Cerec uses images of the teeth captured by a digital camera to form new restorations. At the first stage, the images are converted into models by state of the art design software. These designs are then sent to the milling machine and the manufacturing process takes place. The bespoke restoration is ready in minutes and it is then fitted by your dentist.

What are the advantages of Cerec?

There are lots of advantages of Cerec treatment for dental patients and dentists. The speed of treatment is greatly reduced from two weeks to a single session and there is no need for temporary restorations, multiple treatments or putty impressions. These can be uncomfortable for some patients who have a sensitive gag reflex. The process is more accurate, everything can be done under the same roof and dentists can exert more influence at the design stage.

We are able to use Cerec to create same-day custom-designed crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. If you would like to find out more about sensational Cerec, call us today and make an appointment.

 

Restore Your Smile This January in the Heart of Liverpool

Thursday, January 8th, 2015

Most people require a little patching up and TLC from time to time and at Liverpool Dental Spa, we offer an extensive range of restorative treatments to repair chipped, broken and damaged teeth and enhance the aesthetic of the smile. If you’re in need for some repair work and you’re searching for natural looking, durable solutions, look no further! Our expert dentists use high quality materials to produce fantastic results every time.

Our restorative treatments

Restorative dentistry is concerned with strengthening, repairing and restoring the teeth to improve their function and reduce the risk of further damage. Restorative work can also have major benefits for the look of the smile and subsequently, the client’s confidence.

Our restorative treatments include:

  • dental crowns
  • dental bridges
  • treatment for broken teeth, including bonding and veneers
  • inlays and onlays
  • Cerec single visit restorations

Crowns and bridges

Crowns and bridges are popular treatments for broken and missing teeth respectively. Dental crowns are placed over the top of the tooth and they are most commonly used when a tooth is decayed or damaged as a result of injury. Crowns help to make the tooth stronger and they can also have a very positive impact on the tooth aesthetic. Bridges are an affordable, simple and effective solution for missing teeth. Treatment is usually complete in just two sessions and we can use ceramics, such as porcelain, to create a very natural look. The most popular type of bridge is made from a false tooth that is supported on either side by a new crown. Crowns and bridges should last for around 8-15 years if they are well cared for.

Cerec

Cerec is an innovative form of technology, which cuts treatment time and enables patients to enjoy the benefits of restorative treatment instantly. This is a single session treatment, which uses advanced technology to enable us to produce bespoke inlays and onlays, crowns and veneers on-site in just one day. Cerec takes care of the design and manufacturing processes and we then fit the new restoration.

Tooth Restoration In One Appointment In The City Of Liverpool

Thursday, August 22nd, 2013

If you thought having a new crown or a set of veneers took weeks, think again. Thanks to amazing Cerec technology, we can now provide patients in Liverpool with same-day bespoke restorations.

What is Cerec?

Cerec technology is innovative and exciting and it saves patients having to make repeat visits to their dentist. In a single day, we can design, manufacture and place new restorations, meaning you can reap the benefits of treatment straight away and enjoy the treatment process without having to worry about multiple injections and spending hours in the dental chair.

Cerec technology uses images of your teeth to design custom-made restorations, including crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers and this information is then sent to the milling section, which is responsible for manufacturing the restorations.

What are the benefits of Cerec?

Cerec has a host of benefits for dentists and patients. The treatment process is much shorter, with patients able to have their permanent restoration fitted on the same day as the tooth is prepared. Normally, the process of sending away an impression, manufacturing the crown and then sending the crown back to be fitted takes around 2 weeks; with Cerec, we can do all this on the same day, which eliminates the need for multiple injections, repeat treatment sessions and temporary restorations.

Cerec is also beneficial for dentists because it allows them to get more involved in the design process. The procedure is also much less messy, as there is no need to use dental putty and the process is more accurate.

We use the finest quality materials to produce a range of restorations and we colour match your restorations to ensure a natural looking finish and a healthy smile. If you would like to find out more about same-day restorations, call us today!

CEREC Restoration In Just One Day For Patients In Liverpool

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012

CEREC restorations and technology are used at the practice to provide crowns, veneers, onlay and inlay treatments within a single visit. All the procedures will be completed in the same appointment. You will not need to undergo further drillings, impression and injections, and most importantly you will not need to wear temporary restorations.

Good for a busy schedule

Since all the images, impressions and restorations are fabricated within the practice, patients who have busy schedules will be able to receive treatments immediately.  The measurement and fitting of your onlay or inlay, crowns and veneers will be done on the same day, making dental care very convenient.

High Quality Treatment

Due to the efficiency of CEREC 3D, no messy dental moulds will be required for the treatment, and the impressions taken for the dental restoration will always be of superior clarity. This implies that your new restoration will fit well and will look very much like the natural teeth. The results of the treatment will be long lasting as well.

CEREC can be used to create more than just crowns and fillings. The dentist can also use them to fix chipped or discoloured teeth, using porcelain anterior crowns or veneers. This also means that if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your dental appearance, you can easily get it fixed.

At Liverpool Dental Spa you no longer need to be conscious about your facial appearance when you smile or talk. Many people have their self-confidence shattered due to various dental conditions which can now be easily fixed. CEREC ensures highest level of restorative care for patients.

In the past fixing a dental issue meant to add something to the mouth that could be easily identified. This has been taken care off with the help of tooth coloured ceramics which are used while making CEREC restorations. This improves the appearance and strength of your smile.

 

 

Liverpool Dental Patients can Receive Their Crowns, Veneers, Onlays and Inlays in Just One Day with Cerec Technology

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Whenever you require a dental restoration such as a crown, veneer, inlay or onlay you usually have to wait several weeks for your personal restoration to arrive. After this you must return to the practice for a second set of injections to have your treatment.

However, at Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic we use Cerec technology, which allows us to create high quality dental restorations in-practice. This cuts down the number of visits you need to make to the practice and also allows you to finalise the end results.

How does Cerec treatment work?

First you tooth is prepared for the inlay, onlay, crown or veneer, after which 3D images are taken of your teeth and mouth. These are a great deal more accurate than dental putty and also a lot less messy! The images are then fed into the computer, after which your personal restoration will be created from a pure block of ceramic.

It usually only takes 30 minutes to create a Cerec restoration, which is an awful lot faster than the usual 2 weeks it takes more most other practices! Once this has been created it will be fitted into place, after checking the colour and fit are perfect.

What are the main benefits of Cerec restorations?

  • You will only require one visit, meaning you won’t have to take more time off work and you will only need to have one injection.
  • You can oversee the work and ask for changes if you are not happy with the first restoration made. Correcting any problems will be easy, as all work is done on-site and will not have to be sent back to any outside laboratories.
  • You will not have to wait for your brand new, beautiful smile, with all treatment completed on the same day.

For patients in Liverpool interested in the Cerec treatment please call the practice today for more information.
