CEREC dentistry in Leicester for convenience

A pearly white set of teeth is not achieved overnight, most especially if your teeth are badly stained, chipped or broken.

Usually, dental restorations (crowns and veneers) require more than one visit to your Leicester dentist. On your first visit, the dentist will inject anaesthesia and prepare your tooth. Using dental putty, he will take an impression of your teeth for the dental laboratory to use and you will be fitted with a temporary tooth restoration. On your second visit to the dentists, you get another injection of anaesthesia, have the temporary restoration removed and the new restoration will be put on.

However, if your Leicester dentist has CEREC, you only need one visit to the dentist. CEREC, by Sirona Dental Systems is the only system in the world that enables your dentist to fabricate ceramic dental restoration within an hour. There is no need to wait for weeks or return to your dentist for the final restoration. Just one visit and you can leave your dentist’s office with a permanent ceramic crown, on lay or veneer. This is very convenient for you because you need not endure several injections or dental visits.

To prepare you for CEREC treatment, your dentist in Leicester will do the same procedures like in preparation for crown or veneer but this time; he will not use a dental putty to get the impression of your teeth. He will use an optical impression of your tooth with a camera instead. The impression will then be converted to a computerized model of your tooth using a CEREC software. As soon as everything is okay, the digital image will be sent to a milling machine. In as fast as 30 minutes, you can have your restoration finished and ready to fit. This is technology at its best.
