CEREC Chairside Dental Treatment: Advantages Over Conventional Care

CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) revolutionises restorative dentistry by allowing same-day, high-quality ceramic restorations. Here's why CEREC stands out:

1. one-visit convenience

- Speed: Traditional crowns or inlays/onlays often require two or more appointments spaced weeks apart. With CEREC, patients leave with a finished restoration in a single visit-no temporary fillings, no return trips.
- Comfort: Fewer injections, less chair time, and no annoying temporaries translate to a far more pleasant patient experience.

2. digital precision

- Intraoral scanning: High-resolution digital impressions eliminate messy putty and minimise gag reflexes, capturing every detail of the preparation.
- CAD/CAM Design: Computer-aided design ensures restorations fit precisely to the tooth's contours, optimising marginal seal and reducing micro-leakage.
- Milling Accuracy: The on-site milling unit carves the restoration from a solid block of dental ceramic with micron-level precision.

3. superior material: dental ceramics vs. composite fillings

4. lifetime longevity of digital inlays/onlays

Ceramic inlays and onlays crafted via CEREC are not only exceptionally strong and aesthetic-they're built to last. With proper oral hygiene and routine check-ups, these restorations can endure for decades, effectively a "lifetime" solution that preserves more natural tooth structure than full crowns.
