Ceramic reconstruction step by step

• The defective filling and decay are removed. A reflective powder layer prepares the tooth for imaging.
• An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera, directly in your mouth.
• The restoration is created on the screen using the image data.
• Diamond-coated instruments mill a ceramic block to reproduce the design.
• This is accomplished during a single appointment using Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Manufacture(CAD/ CAM).
• After polishing, the new restoration fits precisely.
• A unique light hardens the bonding material, uniting porcelain and tooth.
• Polishing or glazing ensures a pleasantly smooth and natural feel.
• The colour and appearance make the special ceramic material blend with your tooth.
• Perfectly bonded porcelain ensures an extremely long life for your teeth.
• Maximum strength, great looks!

Fillings (Inlays/ Onlays)

After decay and old filling material is removed…

• The individually manufactured ceramic will be fitted exactly.
• Depending on the severity, the whole procedure will last between one and two hours.

Crowns

For more heavily compromised teeth, a traditional treatment has been crown restoration, which can take several separate appointments. Using the CEREC method, the crown restoration is completed in a single appointment. No impressions, no temporary crowns – no need for a second injection.

A treatment time of one to two hours is normal.

Veneers

• Malpositioned and discoloured teeth can be restored with porcelain veneers.
• Your tooth is adjusted and a thin layer of porcelain is bonded securely to your tooth.
• Perfect looks, perfect fit make a wonderful, natural smile – all in a single appointment.

Perfect teeth in five easy steps.

CEREC is a sophisticated computer-aided system for producing durable high-quality ceramic restorations. It is simple to use, fast and conserves the natural tooth. CEREC is ideal for patients who want an authentic tooth-coloured alternative to amalgam or gold. In many cases CEREC allows tooth restorations to be completed in a single session without impressions, temporaries or long waiting periods.

• Before treatment starts your dentist will inform you about all the benefits of CEREC.
• The first step is to remove dental caries and/or the existing filling. The CEREC measuring camera then takes a three-dimensional photograph of your tooth.
• The contours of the ceramic restoration are designed on the computer monitor.
• CEREC automatically mills the restoration out of a tooth-coloured ceramic block.
• Finally, the restoration is inserted into your tooth and polished. The finished ceramic restoration looks and feels exactly like natural dental enamel.
