A CEREC partial crown produced at the chairside stabilizes the remaining tooth and largely conserves the healthy tooth structure. Today, there is over 10 years of clinical experience with CEREC.
Preserving
In the past, when the walls of the cavity are too thin, we had to remove the "unsupported" cusps and therefore removing healthy tooth tissue. Now, with the advanced bonding technique and the perfect CEREC
material, we can keep those thin walls and "unsupported" cusps by bonding the CEREC restoration to the tooth. This saves time during the preparation and there is no need to sacrifice healthy tooth structure.
Cost-effective
This superior method doesn't cost the patient more! The charge is the same as if the restorations were done in a dental laboratory. But the result is better, and faster.
Patient-friendly
The patient doesn't have to go through the discomfort of impressions and temporary restorations when carrying out complicated restorations. The CEREC restoration is designed, milled, and fitted in ONE
session.
Metal-free
The property of CEREC material is very similar to that of tooth enamel. There is no longer concern for compatibility with the material of the adjacent teeth. The thermal expansion of the CEREC material is
similar to teeth also, meaning eating hot and cold foods won't cause differential expansion / contraction of the restored tooth, as in the case of metallic restorations.
Tooth colored
CEREC ceramic blocks are available in various shades and can be polished up to a high gloss finish quickly and easily. Without the need for a glaze, and a long wait. It can also be internally or externally
stained to give a character to it.
Chairside
CEREC restorations can be made and fitted at the chairside. No impressions, no temporaries. No need to come back in a week for fitting.
Kind to Tooth Structure
CEREC partial crowns or CEREC veneers often provide a conservative alternative, in one session, to full crowns.
Biocompatible
The convincing chameleon effect of metal-free CEREC restorations is the result of the continuous transition between the thinly tapering ceramic material and the natural tooth structure. This enables the
dentist not to place the margins beneath the gum line thereby practically ruling out irritation to the gums.
Fracture-resistant
CEREC ceramics is very fracture-resistant. If you hit it and break it, you would have broken your natural tooth was it not restored.
Esthetic
The translucency of CEREC veneers enables the dentist to put staining underneath it. This is exactly how natural tooth gets its color: from INSIDE.
