Ceramic fillings with CEREC offer major benefits over normal fillings, with clinical studies showing CEREC restorations are as durable as gold restorations and in some cases even better. There are no long delays from having the impressions done and sent away to a dental laboratory and then having the teeth made and sent back. Instead, a CEREC restoration can be completed in one visit.
The CEREC system is used in more than 25,000 practices worldwide and has treated millions of patients.
Many patients consider classic impressions with an impression tray and impression material to be unpleasant. The modern alternative is digital impressions with CEREC Primescan. This scanner takes a powder-free scan of the upper and lower jaw in usually 1 minute and creates 3D models in photo-realistic resolution that is immediately obvious.
CEREC is an optimum solution, particularly for anxious patients. Since the final restoration is produced in a single visit, the patient only needs one anesthetic injection.
Problems with temporary prostheses that fall out and emergency appointments are eliminated with CEREC because the patient receives the final restoration in the first visit: Inlays, onlays, crowns, veneers and bridges are manufactured right in the dental chair.
Dentists and patients alike want their restorations to last a long time, particularly since they often contribute to financing them. CEREC meets these requirements: Today, CEREC has been used to place more than 35 million restorations worldwide.
