CEREC: Dentures using the latest technology
CEREC (Ceramic Reconstruction) is the abbreviation for a modern manufacturing process of ceramic inlays, crowns, and bridges by computer. By using this procedure, dentures can be designed and inserted at our practice in just one day.
CEREC is based on CAD/CAM technology (Computer-Aided Design / Computer-Aided Manufacturing). The patient’s tooth is photographed and displayed as a 3D model. The denture (for example, inlay, partial crown, or crown) can be designed and milled from a small ceramic block. This process takes about half an hour. The milled blank is then adjusted to the colour of the patient’s teeth by our dental technicians and placed accordingly.

CEREC offers the following advantages:
- metal-free restorations made of biocompatible ceramics
- the highest precision due to computer-controlled milling
- long life and increased durability due to the homogeneous ceramic block
- aesthetically perfect appearance
- good price-performance ratio
- often shorter treatment time
