Single-Appointment Crowns
CEREC technology utilises computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM). Following digital scanning of the prepared tooth, a ceramic restoration may be milled onsite and fitted during the same visit, where clinically appropriate.
Suitability for same-day fabrication depends on individual clinical factors and will be discussed during consultation.
Potential Benefits of CEREC Technology
- Digital impressions rather than traditional moulds
- The possibility of completing treatment in a single visit, where appropriate
- Reduced need for temporary restorations in suitable cases
Fit and Appearance
CEREC restorations are digitally designed to support accurate fit and function. Shade selection is undertaken to complement surrounding teeth, although outcomes may vary depending on individual circumstances.
Durability
Ceramic restorations are designed to withstand normal biting forces. The longevity of any crown depends on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, and regular dental maintenance.
