CHANGE MORE THAN 1 FILLING PER VISIT WITH CEREC

Now I don’t want to get too technical here(!) but you may know that CEREC is the most modern, accurate and speedy way of replacing your old mercury amalgam fillings with porcelain inlays. Previously you would have had to have had impressions taken of your teeth and them sent of to the laboratory to be made into porcelain . You would return 2 weeks later, have another injection, temporary dressing removed and your new inlay tried in. Sometimes they wouldn’t fit, which would lead to the time and inconvenience of having new ones made.

    CEREC changed all that , In one visit,  here at SAVING FACES in Aintree near Liverpool. we take images of your teeth and they’re scanned into the CEREC computer which them presents us with a “virtual inlay”. This information is electronically transferred into a milling machine which makes your perfectly fitting inlay in minutes. The inlay so then fitted. The whole process takes 1 hour.

    In addition we now have the facility to do more than 1 CEREC per visit with some new software added to the programme.For example Jackie from Liverpool was in to day and had 2 huge old amalgam fillings in her bottom right back teeth. In one visit these were removed, new CEREC inlay so made and bonded into her teeth. They are guaranteed for 5 years but should last many more years than that if looked after well.
