Everything You Need To Know About CEREC In Weston-Super-Mare

CEREC is a really impressive form of technology, which reduces treatment time for patients who require restorative treatment. If you need a crown, veneers or an inlay or onlay and you don’t have the time or patience to wait around, CEREC is the answer.

What is CEREC?

CEREC is an advanced form of technology, which enables dental practices to design and manufacture new restorations on-site; this means that we can carry out treatment in a single day, rather than having to wait for 2 weeks for a mould to be sent away to a dental laboratory, made into a new restoration and returned for fitting. With CEREC, it is possible to design, create and fit a bespoke restoration in a matter of minutes (rather than days) and this has many benefits for patients and dentists. CEREC uses images taken of the teeth and converts them into highly detailed 3D models, which act as a template for the new creation; these designs are then sent to the milling machine and seconds later, the new restoration is ready to fit.

What are the benefits of CEREC for patients in Weston-super-Mare?

The most obvious benefit of CEREC is that it cuts treatment time drastically. The fact that the entire process can take place in a single session also eliminates the need for temporary restorations and means that patients only have to find time to schedule one appointment, which can be a blessing for those with very hectic schedules. With CEREC, the treatment process is also much cleaner and more pleasant, as CEREC uses images, rather than putty moulds to create the new restoration. Many patients find the sensation of having dental putty in their mouth uncomfortable, so this can be a real benefit. CEREC also enables dentists to have more influence over the design of the new restoration and the manufacturing process is more accurate.

Fast fixes in Swindon with CEREC

Swindon can be a hive of activity and it can keep you on the go all of the day- and night. Now this leaves you with very little time to fit in things such as dentistry, and if things are required to be done, or if things go wrong, it can be hard to make time for an appointment. However, modern dentistry has recognised this and made special arrangements for people on the go- such as with CEREC. This system can have you fitted with veneers, crowns and bridges in the time it takes for a dinner break from your busy schedule. It is a full-on computer system that will first take images of the area that needs sorting out, analyse it and then design your new part. After this, the computer pumps the information into a machine that will make the part on the spot. If things go wrong, they can be sorted out in-house, but one thing is for sure, you will go back to work looking as splendid as ever, and with your smile in-tact. Clifton dental serve the town so call them up and find out more about this fabulous cosmetic treatment.  

The joy of CEREC in Bristol

Bristol can be a fast and furious city to live in and sometimes it can be hard to get the basics fitted in- such as popping along to see your dentist when things go wrong with fitments in your mouth; don’t put such things off just because you feel you haven’t the time because you are putting your oral health at risk. The thing is, there are some amazing treatments you can have done in around an hour to repair you and get you going again- like CEREC. This is one of those treatments that have come from some of the great technological advances in modern dental work. If you are having a problem with your dental bridge, a veneer or a crown, then all you need to do is find a dentist that offers this treatment. The uniqueness of CEREC is that once you sit down in the chair and have been digitally scanned, the images are fed directly into the computer that will design your new fitting there and then, and once done, feed this information into a machine that will manufacture the part you need. All of this will take about an hour and before you know what has hit you, you will be in and out with your smile in tact. If you’d like to know more and where you can have this done, give Clifton Dental a call.  

Clifton Dental of Bristol tells you about CEREC in Chepstow

There are quite a few procedures that have walked through the dentist’s door and taken the surgery by the scruff of the neck in Chepstow and shaken it up, and one especially noticeable treatment is CEREC. This highlights just how beautiful computers and machinery can work in unison to give you the ultimate treatment in no time at all. In the past, having veneers, crowns and even bridges made took time because the fittings had to be sent off to be made in some clandestine laboratory in the country somewhere, so the average time of such procedures would be 2-3 weeks to complete: CEREC has done away with all of this. When you go along to the dentist, digital images are taken of the areas that need work and then fed into a computer with the CEREC program. This analyses the size of the required fitting, designs it and then feeds the information into a milling machine that will make the new fitting before your eyes. This takes around 20 minutes, which of course, allows the dentist time to get you ready, then once made, the fitting is cemented into your mouth. The great advantage of this is that if there is a problem, it can be rectified on the spot. Instead of waiting a couple of weeks, you are done and dusted down in just over the hour! For more information on this wonder treatment, you should call Clifton Dental in Bristol.  

Choosing CEREC in Swindon

If you are looking for a dynamic method of improving the way your jaded and worn teeth are starting to look in Swindon, then you need look no further than a dental surgery that offers CEREC. This treatment is everything that is good in modern dentistry. It’s a combination of technology working with what was already available and then, coming up with a way of doing prosthetic fittings such as crowns and veneers in around an hour, as opposed to it taking two weeks originally. The big difference that this system has made to have these fittings done is that they can be made on site as opposed to being manufactured in a far off laboratory- and it could be at least two weeks before they returned. When you get measured up for this, you will have a series of digital images and x-rays taken that are processed on a computer, and once it has worked out the dimensions, the information is fed into a milling machine that makes the new fitting- all in under 30 minutes, during which time the dentist is readying you for the treatment. In the past if there was a glitch with it, it would have to be sent away again but with CEREC, any faults or mistakes in the fitting can be corrected there and then in-house. Anyone who is always in a hurry and fancies this type of rapid treatment should call Clifton Dental in Bristol, as they cover all of this area of the West Country.  

Patients from Chepstow are moving with the CEREC times at Clifton Dental Studio

Dental science has come a long way over the years, for patients from Chepstow and across the globe. Admittedly, our diets have generally got worse with more cane sugar than would have been imaginable 200 years ago, but at least we are finding new and exciting ways to deal with the additional burden we place on our teeth. CEREC is one of the most intriguing developments of the new computer age in dentistry. Patients in Chepstow are raving about the technique, which was first developed 30 years ago but has moved on a lot since then. CEREC, bizarrely, has two possible definitions – either the Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, or CEramic REConstruction – whichever you prefer! It basically allows your dentist at Clifton Dental Studio to take advantage of computer based technology to carry out restoration work much faster than was previously possible. Most restorative dental treatment require several trips to the dentist so being able to get the work done in a single visit is a huge step forward, especially for people with the sort of hectic lifestyle common in the 21st Century. Typically, CEREC treatment uses 3D photography and computer aided design (CAD) to work out the precise contours of your mouth and the parts which need to be replaced. Compare this to the alternative where you might have to get an anaesthetic on your first visit, your tooth prepared, an impression taken and then a temporary restoration. A few weeks later it is time for a second appointment where the temporary restoration is removed and a permanent one put in place. With CEREC it can be done in one fell swoop. The use of chemical bonding and ceramic materials also means the restoration follows more closely the properties and behaviour of normal teeth. The future is CEREC at Clifton Dental Studio.  

Charming CEREC in Chepstow: All you need to know from Clifton Dental

Sometimes, the most annoying thing about cosmetic dentistry is the time it can take to get your new fitting made and placed in your mouth and if it isn’t right, it will need to be sent off again to be adjusted. Now if you are a speedy, faced-paced person about Chepstow, time is of the essence and hold ups can serious interfere with your diary. But, for you people, you have a lot to thank modern dentistry for, because treatment by CEREC was just waiting in the wings until the technology came along to allow it to happen. Let’s take the scenario of say, a crown or a veneer is needed or has fallen out- this would normally take at least two weeks, but with CEREC, it’ll take you an hour! When you go into the dentists, you’ll have a number of images and digital x-rays taken that are then fed into a computer that then designs what you need and then feeds everything into a fully automated milling machine that will then make your fitting whilst you are being prepared by the dentist. After that, you fitted with out and if there are any problems, they can be rectified in-house. If you have any questions about CEREC, you should contact Clifton dental for details.  

Find out about CERC and how to arrange a consultation in Swindon

CEREC is a modern dental technique that offers an alternative to laboratory made veneers and crowns. Dentists are able produce an instant ceramic dental restoration using photography and computerised technology. Teeth can be completely restored in just one sitting with natural looking, discreet crowns, veneers and fillings. When you attend your appointment at your local, certified CEREC clinic in Swindon, your dentist will use 3D photography and CAM/CAD technology to create a design template for your new restoration. CEREC can be used to treat crooked teeth, gaps, discolouration and can be used in place of metal fillings. Once your dentist is happy with the design for your false teeth, the data is sent to an on-site milling machine which will produce the tooth from a high-quality ceramic block in 6 to 30 minutes. Once your ceramic has been fabricated, your dentist may treat it to a clean, polish or stain in order for it to blend in with your natural teeth, then it will be cemented on top of your teeth. CEREC treatment boasts many benefits, including that the entire process is completed in one appointment, only one injection of local anaesthetic is needed, temporary dentures or restorations do not need to be worn and your dentist is in full control over the end result. CEREC treatment costs from £380 -£700 per tooth that is being replaced, depending on the product required. This is very similar to the prices charged for standard veneers and crowns but with faster and more natural-looking results, you truly are getting more for your money.
