Ceramic Reconstruction Step By Step

• The defective filling and decay is removed.  A reflective powder layer prepares the tooth for imaging
• An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera, directly in your mouth
• The restoration is created on the screen using the image data
• Diamond coated instruments mill a ceramic block to reproduce the design
• This is accomplished during a single appointment using Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacture (CAD/CAM).
• After polishing, the new restoration fits precisely
• A unique light hardens the bonding material, uniting porcelain and tooth
• Polishing or glazing ensures a pleasantly smooth and natural feel
• The colour and appearance make the special ceramic material blend with your tooth
• Perfectly bonded porcelain ensures an extremely long life for your teeth
• Maximum strength, great looks!

Fillings (inlays/onlays)

• After decay and old filling material is removed…..
• The individually manufactured ceramic will be fitted exactly.
• Depending on severity, the whole procedure will last between one and two hours.

Crowns

• For more heavily compromise teeth, a traditional treatment has been a crown restoration, which can take several separate appointments.  Using the CEREC method, crown restoration is completed in a single appointment.  No impressions, no temporary crowns – no need for a second injection.
• A treatment time of one to two hours is normal.

Veneers

• Malpositioned and discoloured teeth can be restored with porcelain veneers.
• Your tooth is adjusted and a thin layer of porcelain is bonded securely to your tooth.
• Perfect looks, perfect fit make a wonderful, natural smile – all in a single appointment
