CEREC

Restorations

At Sundial Dental CEREC restorations include crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, multiple tooth bridges, and are also used in dental implants. This technology, which we have been using at Sundial Dental for over 12 years, keeps our patients satisfied and smiling.

What is a CEREC restoration?

A CEREC restoration comes in many forms. It can cover a broken/ chipped/cracked tooth, support or reinforce a weak or filled tooth, strengthen “anchor” teeth for a dental bridge, cover a dental implant or protect a tooth after a root canal procedure; or simply serve a cosmetic function!

finished off with a “temporary crown” placed in your mouth for you to nurse for 1-2 weeks (taking active measures not to bite on it!). All this only to return to your dentist, when your permanent crown becomes ready and available, to spend yet another 30-60 minutes fitting the final product.

We find that our patients appreciate no gooey impressions, no temporary crowns, no second visits or metal fused materials.

What is the difference between a CEREC Crown and a Traditional Crown?

Who among us has had a traditional crown? If you have ever had a traditional crown you might well describe the crown prep as tedious, not to mention the gooey impression that probably made you want to gag, only to be

Today, with the assistance of CAD CAM technology, a CEREC crown can be prepared, milled (while you wait; allowing you to watch the milling process) and fitted, on site in a single visit of about an hour. CEREC crowns are fast, precise, durable and attractive; and your personal restoration is crafted from a block of German porcelain, matched to your natural tooth colour, meaning it looks natural and matches the other teeth. Furthermore, your dentist does not need to remove as much of your tooth surface and structure as would be required if you opted for a traditionally crafted crown, inlay, onlay or veneer due to the the precision of the CAD CAM design. These restorations perfectly match your natural teeth because the CAD

CAM technology scans your original tooth to match your tooth’s original shape and contour making it a perfect fit and a perfect match. CEREC restorations are also metal-free which not only make them more aesthetic but also avoids further complications in the body. This technology is backed by years of documented studies showing that these restorations are here to stay. Plus, patient feedback (remember we have been placing CEREC restorations for over 12 years) is overwhelmingly positive. We find that our patients appreciate no gooey impressions, no temporary crowns, no second visits or metal fused materials. In short, patients are in no hurry to go back to traditional methods. What’s more, a CEREC crown costs no more than your traditional crown; they actually save you time and money when you factor in a second appointment, additional time off work or time spent away from the things you enjoy. So if you, or a loved one, is considering restoring their smile or simply crowning a tooth, why not consider CEREC restoration?
