Our dentist will take a digital image of the tooth using a special camera. This is an alternative to creating an impression with the traditionally utilised dental putty. This means that patient gagging on dental impression materials is avoided with Cerec.
This photograph is then converted into a computerised 3D model and used as a guide to create the new ceramic restoration. The information is then transmitted to a specially-designed milling machine, which creates the restoration from a specially selected, high-quality high-strength ceramic block. The restoration will match the colour of the patient’s other teeth.
