Cerec Can Take Your Smile To That Next Level In Leeds

Monday, April 21st, 2014

4244118_blogCerec is an amazing example of modern dental technology and it allows us to offer same-day restorative treatment in the heart of Leeds. Gone are the days when you had to wait around for a new crown, veneer or onlay!

Cerec is a form of technology, which allows dental practices to make and fit new restorations, including inlays, onlays, veneers and dental crowns on-site. This means that the entire treatment process can take place in a single day, rather than over a two week period, with multiple appointments required.

Usually, dental putty is used to make moulds of the teeth and this can be an unpleasant experience, especially if you have a sensitive gag reflex. With Cerec, this process is eliminated and instead, images taken with a camera are used to create designs for the new restoration. Cerec converts these images into detailed three-dimensional models and these are sent to the milling machine, where the manufacturing process takes place.

Aside from cutting the speed of treatment, Cerec also means that patients only need a single visit to the dentist, the process is cleaner and less invasive and dentists have more control over the design of the finished product. There is also no need for temporary restorations.

If you need a new crown, inlay or onlay or bespoke veneers and you’re in a rush, come and see us! In just one day, we’ll have you smiling with confidence again.

 

Cerec Dental Veneers: Quick Treatment, Timeless Look

Tuesday, March 18th, 2014

944335_blogCerec is an amazing example of how far dentistry has come. Thanks to Cerec, we can make and fit bespoke veneers all in the same day to create a flawless, timeless look.

What is Cerec?

Cerec technology uses photographs of the teeth to create highly detailed 3D images, which are used to design your new veneers. These designs are sent to the milling site and the veneers are made in a matter of minutes. Usually, veneer treatment takes up to 2 weeks, but we are able to offer this incredible treatment in a single session. Cerec also allows us to design and produce dental crowns, inlays and onlays.

Veneers create flawless smiles and they are a great option for people who have chipped or worn teeth and those who would like a brighter, whiter smile. Veneers are wafer-thin shells, which are applied over the teeth to produce an amazing, radiant new smile. There are various shades and shapes to choose from so you can design your perfect smile.

Cerec treatment saves you time and enables you to enjoy your new smile sooner. If you thought veneers were just for celebrities gracing red carpets, think again, our amazing new smile is just around the corner!

CEREC conquers the City of Leeds

Wednesday, September 4th, 2013

468416_blogLet’s have a chat about CEREC eh because if you are person in a rush in a busy place like the city of Leeds, then if you have problems with your teeth, this could be the treatment that answers all of your dental problems. Once you pop along to see the dentist, things like partial dentures, bridges, veneers and crowns can be knocked out in around an hour and you can be done and dusted with fine new looking teeth and fittings. A digital x-ray will take pictures of the affected area and then send them straight into the CEREC programme on a computer that will design a new part for your mouth. In minutes, this will be relayed into a milling machine that will then make what you need. All of this is very quick and by now the dentist will have already prepped you. Then the new fitting can be set into the mouth and if anything doesn’t work, the adjustments can be done on the spot. For anyone who has barely little time to spare during the day, this is an absolute godsend if things go awry in the mouth.

The charm of CEREC in Leeds

Wednesday, July 24th, 2013

283481_blogIt is not easy trying to find the time to fit in extra curricular dental work if you are an overworked busy bee, but if your smile is important to you and the way you look, you will have to find time. So for those of you that can identify with this dilemma, there is a treatment made just for you and it will absolutely charm the pants off you in Leeds- the charismatic CEREC. If you are looking to have a bridge made, a crown fitted or some veneers put in just to tidy your smile up, this is the answer to all your busying little prayers. This is one of those treatments that is the love-child of the computer generation and is miraculous in the way it works. Once you make an appointment and turned up for your treatment, your mouth will first be digitally x-rayed and photographed; straight away, these will be put into the CEREC computer programme that will design your new part. Whilst the dentist is setting about you and getting you ready, a machine will already be making your fitting in the next room with the information gleaned from the computer. In about 20 minutes, the part is ready to fit; all the dentist has to do then is ‘glue’ it into place and if there is a hiccup, the problem can be resolved in-house, and then you are free to get back to rat-race with your smile intact- now that’s magic!

The charm of CEREC in Leeds

Saturday, March 16th, 2013

Your teeth can be a right pain in the backside at times, especially when things go wrong and who is to say when things are going to go wrong. If you are also a horrendously busy bee in Leeds, it can also be hard to find time to get your teeth patched up; this leaves you in a dilemma, especially if your smile is an important ingredient in the work that you do, hence you may find yourself languishing between the devil and the deep blue sea. But the world of dentistry has come on leaps and bounds over the past 50 years and issues like this are no longer a problem thanks to the advances in technology. Take the magical charm of CEREC for example. Fitting a veneer, a bridge or a crown used to be a three-week operation at best, but not with CEREC. All you have to do is turn up to the dental surgery and then in an hour or so, you will leave with a completely new fitting. This is because once you have been analysed and the results fed into a computer, the computer programme will then design your fitting and send this information into a machine while you are being prepped by the dentist. The great thing about this is that any problems that crop up with the fitting can be rectified in-house, there and then.

 

The best cosmetic dental technology in Leeds- CEREC

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013

Leeds is a beautifully vibrant place to live, but with that comes the pressures of looking your best at all times in order to keep up with the best: clothes, hair and your smile can make a huge difference in how you impose yourself in the city. On top of this, if something goes wrong at any one moment, you want to know that you can go somewhere to get fixed up in a jiffy so that you remain in the game at all times. Clothes are easy, there is a hairdresser on every corner, but when it comes to a dental crisis, it is not so easy….well, that was before CEREC came along. This is an amazing system designed to get you up and running again in just over an hour if you require a veneer, a bridge or a crown very quickly. Once you sit down in your dentist’s chair, quick snaps are taken of your teeth, fed into the CEREC computer programme to design your fitting and then, this is fed into a machine that will manufacture your new fitting, in just 20 minutes! During this process, the dentist can ready you for the fitting and before you know it, your smile can be back on track in the time it would normally take to have a lunch break.

 

Classy CEREC comes to Leeds

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

When it comes to the dawning of a new age of technology in dentistry, nothing sums it up better than CEREC. It’s a fanciful treatment that can get you up and running again in no time, setting you up with a new crown, veneers or even a dental bridge and for the busy people of Leeds that truly is a blessing. The computer is at the core of this trickery, as well as some pretty dandy machinery. New fittings before were hampered by the fact of time, because they had to be sent off to the lab to be made- they were just as good, but no good if you wanted the work done immediately. With CEREC, you sit down and your mouth is subjected to digital imaging that will then feed the pictures of the area that requires fixing into a computer. The computer then works out all the dimensions of your new fitting and feeds them straight into a milling machine which makes the part you need there and then whilst the dentist gets you ready. Once made, the fitting is cemented into place: if any problems arise, the issues can be rectified in-house and if need be, the fitting re-made. The overall treatment takes about an hour to complete and is as competitive price wise as having the work done the old fashioned way….dentistry is truly keeping up with the demands of its patients.

Choosing Porcelain Veneers in Leeds

Sunday, September 9th, 2012

It would be maybe a little premature to say that you can keep your teeth looking ‘perfect’ in Leeds, especially as you get older and things start to lose their sheen, start to crack and begin to suffer from wear and tear: your gums may even start to recede. The thing is though, cosmetic dentistry has covered all bases on this front and if you look around, you can find answers to your ‘teething’ problems and if you are suffering from any or all of the above problems, it could be time for you to take a look at porcelain veneers as these sweet little gems have the ability to hide away all your issues and leave your smile looking youthful and breath-taking once more. Porcelain is a strong, natural and beautiful material that exudes light to reflect its purity, so just imagine how that would portray your smile. The process is quite simple and painless: first the enamel of the teeth has to be removed so that your dentist can take a mould, from which the veneers can be made and once they are, they are cemented into position. This normally takes a couple of weeks, but if you find a dentist that offers CEREC, then the whole process can be done in just over the hour. Though they look very fragile in the hand, when they are in, they treble in strength, making them durable and hard wearing- 20 years hard wearing, but it is the look after the treatment that will blow your mind- you will have a smile to grace any film premier.

 

 

 

Technology with Cad/Cams in Dentistry in Central Leeds

Monday, June 18th, 2012

Ah, the age of computers eh and where would we be without them? Especially the world of dentistry as so many treatments rely on their use, which for the patients of central Leeds means excellent news, because this technology has speeded up the treatments we have no-end, especially cosmetic ones. The perfect example of this is CAD/CAM technology- computer aided design and manufacture. If ever you have had veneers, a bridge or a crown made, the fitting is perfectly fine but can often take a couple of weeks to manufacture and that can be awkward if you are a busy person, but with CAD/CAM, you can be done in the hour. When you sit into the chair, a series of digital images will be taken and fed into the computer that then designs your fitting. This information is then transferred in to a milling machine that makes your fitting while you are being readied by the dentist. This takes around 20 minutes before the dentist fits you a new tooth. Even better about this, is if something is not quite right, it can be corrected in-house. Today’s world is all about time and those cunning dental engineers in their laboratories certainly know how to come up with ways of saving it!

CAD/CAM technology has numerous benefits, for both dentists and patients in Central Leeds:

  • Decreased treatment time.
  • Increased patient involvement.
  • Increased control for the dentist.
  • Increased accuracy.
