How CEREC Can Help You Fall in Love with Veneers This Valentine’s Day

Friday, February 12th, 2016

4487372_blogIt’s Valentine’s weekend and love is in the air! If you’re eager to spend this year’s special day beaming from ear to ear, why not treat yourself to some stunning CEREC veneers?

CEREC is an innovative form of dental technology that enables us to offer same-day restorative and cosmetic treatment. If you thought you’d have to wait for weeks to enjoy incredible results, think again! Thanks to CEREC, we can now design, create and fit brand new veneers all in the same day, so you’ll be ready to showcase those beautiful pearly whites without delay.

How does CEREC work?

Traditionally, when you have restorative treatment, we create impressions of your teeth and these are sent away to a laboratory and then converted into brand new restorations by skilled technicians and returned to us. The process takes around two weeks. With CEREC, we are able to do everything on site, which means no waiting around, no temporary restorations or putty moulds and no repeat appointments.

CEREC takes care of the design and manufacturing processes and once these are complete, we fit the newly-created bespoke veneers. CEREC technology converts photographs of the teeth into 3D models, which are then sent to the milling machine. This advanced technology takes just minutes to produce new restorations. We are able to use CEREC to make custom-designed veneers, crowns, inlays and onlays.

If you like the sound of instant results, a painless and simple process and a brand new, beaming smile for Valentine’s Day, call us now and book a consultation!

Amazing CEREC Treatment

Thursday, August 6th, 2015

4207449_blogIf you’re looking for an amazing treatment in the centre of Leeds, look no further than CEREC. CEREC technology has revolutionised restorative dentistry, giving us the opportunity to offer our clients same day bespoke treatment.

What is CEREC and what’s so good about it?

CEREC is a form of CAD/CAM technology that enables us to create and fit new restorations such as veneers, inlays, onlays and crowns in one day. Usually, the treatment process for new restorations takes around two weeks as the restorations are made in a dental laboratory by skilled technicians. With CEREC, we can create the new restorations on site.

CEREC treatment involves three key stages. The first stage is to design the restoration using advanced imaging software. We take photographs of the teeth and use the software to convert them into 3D images. Theses images act as templates. The second stage is the manufacturing process, which occurs when the images are sent to the milling machine. This machine works quickly to turn visual templates into tangible new restorations. The final stage is to fit the new restoration.

CEREC offers us many advantages, including:

  • Vastly reduced treatment times (from two weeks to just one day!)
  • No need for temporary restorations
  • Increased accuracy
  • No need to make putty moulds, which can be uncomfortable for those with a sensitive gag reflex
  • Versatility – we can use CEREC to create a range of restorations, such as veneers, crowns, inlays and onlays

If you would like to find out more about the amazing benefits of CEREC treatment, don’t hesitate to call us.

Super fast CEREC in the City of Leeds

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

It is a beautiful thing to see when the old traditions of ‘pure’ engineering sit side by side with modern technology and in the world of dentistry you can see both holding hands when it comes to a treatment called CEREC. This amazing new technology has landed in the city ofLeedsand has taken the place by storm. Treatments like having a veneer fitted, a bridge made or having a crown fitted could often take weeks of preparation- but once in they look fabulous and make you feel the same way. If however you have a mishap and damage your fitting, then again, it’s another few weeks until you are patched up. Now if you have to present yourself in a public way through work or if you just have a hot date, it will compromise the way you feel and the way you come across. Not anymore! With CEREC, these said fittings can be sorted out within around 90 minutes. You get into the chair and the dentist will take a few digital images of the affected area and then feed them into a computer. Now whilst your teeth are being prepped for the fitting, a milling machine in the surgery is constructing your new fitting from all of the data that has been fed into it. Within around an hour, you should be ready to have you new smile put into place, but if there is a problem, it can be adjusted on the spot as opposed to waiting another three weeks. Think about it, in an extended dinner hour, you can look adorable- that’s CEREC in a nutshell!
