Cerec Studio

At Queensway Dental Practice you are looking at the future of your dental treatment in our Cerec® studio.

What is Cerec®?
Cerec® by Sirona Dental Systems, is a sophisticated, computer-based treatment system for the 21st century. It is one of the most advanced products in the world of dentistry.

It is the world's only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one appointment. With CEREC, you can be in and out of the surgery in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer. For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care.

How does it work?
Your tooth is prepared for the restoration with the minimal amount of tooth reduction required for the final restoration to fit the tooth comfortably. An incredibly accurate digital image of your tooth is taken. The work needed is planned on a computer. Solid blocks of ceramic material, which are among the hardest of all tooth coloured materials, are designed into beautifully fitted inlays, onlays, partial crowns, full anterior and posterior crowns or veneers.

  

You see everything that is happening on the advanced computer screen using 3D software. Cerec® will then precision mill the ceramic block.

We use advanced bonding systems to fuse the custom created restoration to your prepared natural tooth. This superb new technology allows us to conserve much more of your natural tooth tissue than was possible before. It also allows us to perform an extended range of effective, clinically tested treatments. With over 10 million restorations placed worldwide, Cerec® is rapidly becoming a treatment of choice over conventional tooth coloured fillings.
