Chairside-Economical-Restauration-Esthetic-CeramicThe CEREC-type restoration is the result of cutting-edge technology for the benefit of the patient, developed 30 years ago and continuously improved since then. The name CEREC comes from an English acronym which means “Chairside-Economical-Restauration-Esthetic-Ceramic Restoration”. In fact, it makes it possible to fabricate a high-quality ceramic restoration in a single visit. Crowns and indirect inlays are the most commonly used restorations. It is also possible to fabricate crowns on implants, temporary acrylic bridges, permanent ceramic bridges or ceramic veneers. Thanks to recent advances, this technology now allows the creation of surgical guides in implantology by integrating 3D scan technology. |

Choice of material: ceramicTo this day, dental ceramics remains the material that most closely resembles tooth enamel in its rigidity, texture and the way it reacts to temperature variations when you eat. It is a highly biocompatible material that restores strength to a damaged tooth. In addition, it provides great chewing comfort and wear that is similar to natural tooth enamel, which is beneficial for the tooth itself and for neighbouring teeth. In fact, the contact between adjacent teeth remains tighter, which avoids the unfortunate situation of having food get stuck between the teeth. In addition, the rate of tooth wear during chewing is more similar to the friction wear between two natural teeth. This reduces the risk of premature wear (attrition) or breaking of neighbouring teeth. |

Under what conditions is a CEREC restoration necessary?A CEREC restoration is mostly built to strengthen an adult (permanent) tooth that has a large cavity, is broken or already has a large amalgam or composite restoration. It may also be indicated to strengthen a tooth that is painful because of a crack (Cracked Tooth Syndrome). The dentist is the only one who can diagnose this type of lesion and recommend the appropriate treatment for your situation. |
