Ceramic Restorations

The most effective restoration procedure available to patients today is CEREC. Dr Christophers is pleased to offer this advanced dental technology at Whitesmile Dental Care and is enthusiastic about the advantages this equipment provides to patients.

CEREC (Ceramic Reconstruction) enables highly aesthetic and durable porcelain ceramic restorations to be produced easily in one visit rather than two appointments . No longer are uncomfortable impressions and laboratory work required for dental restorations; a process which usually takes up to several weeks and a series of dental appointments. CEREC technology means the restoration is completed within one visit, this is better for you the patient and importantly your tooth, which is bonded and sealed immediately.

Utilising the latest state-of-the-art computer technology, CEREC is the most advanced process available in Dentistry to date. CEREC restorations give teeth greater strength and stability and are inconspicuous in appearance. This equipment enables us to quickly repair your teeth; helping you to maintain your teeth for life.

At your appointment the affected tooth is first prepared for treatment. A Digital 3D scan is taken of the area and is viewed on screen by both the patient and Dentist. The ceramic restoration is then designed in accordance with your tooth scan. Utilising the CEREC machine the ceramic restoration is created quickly and efficiently. After polishing the restoration, it appears and feels like a natural tooth. The restoration is then fitted into place!

CEREC is the best restoration option available to patients as;

  • It is engineered to be just like tooth
  • It is biocompatible, long lasting and doesnt stain
  • It protects and preserve remaining natural tooth structure from breaking
  • It looks and feels like tooth.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner
