CEREC® Ceramic Restoration
Modern computer-aided dentistry: the most beautiful and durable way to create dental fillings and restorations.
Patients increasingly prefer dental restorations such as inlays, crowns or partial crowns in their natural tooth color. Our dental practice in Heidelberg can produce your restoration within your existing appointment using computer-controlled CEREC® technology.
At the Herrmann-Flechtenmacher dental practice, tooth defects are preferably treated with milled inlays, partial crowns and crowns made of full ceramic. In the same session, decay or an old filling is removed and a cavity is prepared.
Your advantage: High-quality crowns and inlays with significant time savings and no temporary restoration needed.
Benefits of CEREC® Restorations
Metal-free & biocompatible
No allergies or adverse reactions - no interaction with any existing metals in the mouth.
Natural tooth aesthetics
CEREC® ceramic has a natural tooth-colored appearance that is indistinguishable from real teeth.
Perfect fit
Computer-precise manufacturing guarantees an accurate fit with high stability and long service life.
One session is enough
Typically, a single treatment session of 1-2.5 hours is sufficient to fully restore your tooth.
No impressions needed
The uncomfortable impression-taking procedure is eliminated - especially beneficial for patients with a gag reflex.
Natural properties
CEREC® ceramic has the same physical properties as natural tooth enamel - it feels natural and looks natural too.
How CEREC® Works
Preparation
Decay or old filling is removed and the cavity is prepared.
Digital scan
Using the CEREC® AC Bluecam, an optical impression is taken - completely without impression material.
Design & fabrication
Your restoration is designed on the computer and milled from a ceramic block directly in the practice.
Placement
The finished restoration is precisely placed - all in the same session.
