Ceramic Inlays/Onlays: CAD/CAM

CEREC® by Sirona Dental Systems is one of the world's leading systems in the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. The Cosmetic and Dental Emporium offers CEREC® dentistry at the V&A WaterfrontCape Town Branch.

Crowns, ceramic fillings, veneers or inlays do not have to be fabricated in the laboratory. The dentist will remove all decay and prepare the tooth. The computer then takes a picture of the prepared tooth. With the help of biogeneric® technology a restoration is created on the same day of appointment. No impressions or temporary fillings are needed. With biogeneric® dentistry the restoration will blend with the surrounding teeth in perfect harmony.

To see how the procedure is done by Dr Zak Schabort, kindly visit: http://www.youtube.com/user/CapeTownDentist

Due to the fact that the CEREC® machine fabricates the restoration exactly according to the dental margins, restorations do not have overhangs, thus preserving overall dental and periodontal health.  Dentists use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer aided manufacturing) technology to provide their patients with durable, well-fitted single and multiple tooth restorations in a more efficient manner than traditional lab-fabricated restorations.

 The Advantages of CAD/CAM technology:
• Impression free dentistry
• No temporary restorations
• No follow-up second appointment
• Metal-free restorations, biocompatible dentistry
• Aesthetically pleasing and durable results

CEREC Dentistry:

Welcome to the world of CEREC dentistry. A world where impressions do not exist. Forget about temporary crowns, inlays, onlays or fillings. You will get your metal-free, porcelain restoration on the same day of the appointment, in fact, the restoration will be milled right in front of your eyes with the help of computerized 3D-technology. You can even have a smile-makeover in a day and walk out of the surgery with a confident, beautiful smile. You can also say goodbye to all those old metal fillings. Even the large silver fillings can be replaced by durable CEREC porcelain.
