People in Bristol have a lot of options on how to go about getting their teeth fixed and up to scratch just so they can remain pretty dandy. Things like having a veneer, a crown or a bridge fitted however would on average take a good couple of weeks to achieve because the fittings had to be sent off for. But now that is a thing of history as some genius has come up CEREC. It was always on the cards as technology started to get excited with itself in dental circles, but if you find somewhere that offers this treatment, you can have these treatment done within a couple of hours! Once you go in and have a digital x-ray taken, it is piped into a computer and then into a machine that will make the fitting as you are being prepared. Then you are fitted out with your new teeth. The advantage of this is that the new fitting can be also be rectified there and then if it is ill-fitting, and customized on site to suit your mouth. This has been a dream for people in a hurry and considering it is as cheap as the older ways, it has immense advantages over the way such treatments used to be done.
