Cerec technology is the latest advancement that has revolutionized the field of cosmetic dentistry. It stands for ‘Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic’ and is the world’s only fabrication system for all dental restorations in a single dentist’s visit.
Usually, it requires a minimum of at least two visits to get any restoration job done. But with Cerec, the entire process takes place in just one appointment, saving time and money for the patient. This innovative technology makes use of ‘Computer-assisted design-Computer-assisted manufacture’ crown which are made out of pure ceramic material. Using this method, high-resolution three-dimensional images of your teeth are taken to locate and identify the exact way the crown or filling should fit your teeth and the computer creates these impressions right then and there. Thus the crown is ready in a very short span of time which can then be placed in your mouth.
Use of this technology holds many benefits over the previous methods. The first and foremost is speed; earlier the dentist would take plaster impressions of your teeth where the crown has to be fitted and these measurements are sent to a manufacturer to prepare the crown which could take weeks. But with Cerec, all the dentist needs to do is to enter the specifications and information of your teeth into the computer to have the crown ready within minutes. The next big advantage of this technology is precision and accuracy; the crown or filling is created based on images taken at the microscopic level, hence will be of perfect fit. Also, the ceramic material used to prepare the crown or filling is very similar to our natural teeth giving less room for cracking and resemble our original teeth very closely.
There are many dentists who make use of this technology in Toxteth; consult one of them and experience the manifold benefits of Cerec.
