CEREC, smile transformation in just 1 visit
In today’s world, few of us have the time to visit the dentist for multiple appointments in order to receive dental treatment. At the same time, sitting for hours in a dental chair is not ideal either. One solution to this is called CEREC, a state-of-the-art machine that can make permanent crowns, veneers or onlays for you while you are still in the chair. Here is how it works:
- The dentist will prepare your tooth using a small drill.
- A special camera is then used to take an image of your teeth which is then uploaded to the design unit.
- This image is uploaded to a CAD/CAM unit, which creates a 3D model of your new tooth.
- The model is used by a milling machine, which creates your new tooth from a block of high quality ceramic that best matches your surrounding teeth.
- The restoration is then fixed into place.

Frequently Asked Questions
CEREC Technology
What is CEREC dental technology?
CEREC is an advanced dental technology that allows restorations such as crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays to be designed and made in a single visit. Using digital scanning and computer-aided design, restorations are created with high precision and fitted on the same day, eliminating the need for temporary restorations.
How does CEREC work?
CEREC uses a digital scanner to capture detailed images of your teeth instead of traditional impressions. These images are used to design a custom restoration, which is then milled from a high-quality ceramic block while you wait. Once complete, the restoration is carefully fitted and bonded in place during the same appointment.
What dental treatments can be done using CEREC?
CEREC technology is commonly used for dental crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays. It is suitable for restoring damaged, worn, or weakened teeth while maintaining a natural appearance. Your dentist will assess whether CEREC is appropriate based on the condition of your tooth and treatment needs.
What are the benefits of CEREC restorations?
CEREC restorations offer several benefits, including same-day treatment, accurate digital impressions, and natural-looking ceramic materials. They are designed to be strong, durable, and precisely fitted, reducing the need for multiple visits and temporary restorations.
How do I know if CEREC same-day treatment is right for me?
Determining whether CEREC same-day restoration is suitable begins with a detailed consultation. During this visit, your tooth will be examined and digital scanning may be carried out to assess whether a same-day ceramic restoration is appropriate. The treatment process and expected outcomes will be clearly explained so you can make an informed decision.
