Dental Crown

What are the advantages of CEREC dental crowns?

Dental restoration using the CEREC system offers a number of advantages.

He does not want to have a dental crown made while he waits. These are the advantages of dental restoration using the CEREC system.

  • Metal-free: No amalgam, gold, chromium-cobalt or other metals in your mouth. This eliminates allergies and unsightly rims that commonly form around the gums of metal crowns. Ceramic is a pure material that is safe, biocompatible and non-allergenic.
  • Aesthetics: Your tooth will regain its completely natural shape after repair. It is even possible to match the colour to your other teeth.
  • Safe method: CEREC ceramic replacements have been clinically tested and trialled worldwide over many years. Millions of reconstructions have already been performed, with no complications or allergies reported.
  • Guarantee: If you take good care of your ceramic replacement and it is well made, we are talking about a lifespan of tens of years. CEREC offers a standard guarantee of up to 10 years.
  • While you wait: Treatment is quick and completed in a single visit. There is no need for temporary crowns or other temporary replacements.
  • Strength and quality: All-ceramic restorations are very strong and durable.
  • No dental plaque: The surface of CEREC dental restorations is resistant to plaque build-up. This reduces the risk of further decay under the repaired area.
  • No impressions: It is not necessary to take impressions using materials that can cause a gagging sensation. The CEREC 3D scanner handles everything comfortably and without discomfort.
  • Accuracy and workmanship: The CEREC system creates a replacement from a single piece, whereas in the laboratory, the ceramic is fired onto zirconium oxide fibre, which can lead to wear and breakage. The 3D scanner and subsequent production are much more accurate and require no further adjustments.
  • Individual colouring: CEREC veneers and crowns can be coloured completely individually, just like in a laboratory, to achieve a shade that is indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
