At Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa, we’re big fans of technology and are always eager to invest in new innovations to bring our clients the best treatments on the market. CEREC is a terrific form of technology that enables us to offer same-day bespoke restorative treatment. Whether you need repairs in a hurry or want to enjoy the many benefits of treatment straightaway, CEREC could be an ideal option for you.
What is CEREC and what’s so good about it?
CEREC is a form of technology that allows us to complete the process of restoring the teeth in a single day. With CEREC, we can design, fabricate and fit a brand new crown, veneers, onlay or inlay in just one session, so there’s no hanging about, no temporary restorations and no need to book time off work.
CEREC treatment works by taking images of the teeth and using advanced software to convert them into templates for the new restoration. These virtual templates are sent to the on-site milling machine and the fabrication process begins. In just a couple of minutes, the milling machine creates a brand new, bespoke restoration. Once this process is complete, your dentist can then fit the restoration and you can see the results for yourself.
Traditionally, restorative treatment involves creating putty impressions, which are sent away to a laboratory where the restoration is made by a dental technician. This process usually takes around 2 weeks. With CEREC, we can do everything on-site and this saves a great deal of time as your new restoration will be ready on the same day. There’s also no need to fit a temporary restoration. In addition to time saving, dentists can also enjoy greater involvement in the design process and can guide you through the process step by step so you always know what’s going on.
