What is CEREC?

CEREC is a revolutionary system that enables your dentist to design, fabricate and fit a new crown, veneer, onlay or inlay in a single visit, a procedure that would normally take at least two weeks, if not more!

How does this CEREC technology work?

Your dentist will prepare your tooth in the normal way he/she would before fitting a crown or a veneer. At this point, instead of using "dental putty" to take an impression of your tooth, a digital image is taken using a special camera. This image is then converted into a 3D computerised model of your tooth, which is used as a guide to design your new restoration. Once your dentist is happy with the newly designed tooth, this data is sent to an onsite milling machine, which fabricates your new tooth from a high-quality ceramic block. The milling process can take anywhere from as little as 6 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the exact technology and complexity of the tooth. The latest CEREC MCXL machine can mill a crown in as little as 6 minutes.

The ceramic blocks come in a wide variety of shades and colours, and your tooth will be selected to match your surrounding teeth. Once the crown or veneer has been milled, the dentist may characterise it and stain it to match your surrounding teeth, before either polishing it or glazing it in a furnace. Your new restoration will then be cemented into place onto your prepared tooth.

The Wand® provides a comfortable, predictable and controllable alternative to traditional syringes, and can be beneficial for just about any anaesthetic injection required

Many patients believe that needle insertion is what causes discomfort during an injection, when in fact most of the pain is caused by the flow of the anaesthetic.

The mere sight of a dental syringe and the thought of having an injection by the dentist can easily make most patients wish they were somewhere else. For patients, this fear can be costly.

At the heart of this device is an on-board microprocessor, which guides the anaesthetic flow rate. The microprocessor inside The Wand™ automatically compensates for different tissue densities and the anaesthetic itself is delivered at a constant pressure and volume so that the injection itself is hardly.

Intraoral Camera

Dr Mohammed will use this tiny, sterilized probe to capture detailed images of the inside of your mouth. We will then show you the images captured so you can see exactly what the doctor sees, as well as have a better understanding of the health of your teeth and gums. This state-of-the-art technology also enables us to maintain the most up-to-date records of your treatment.

Intraoral cameras are painless and allow patients to see problems with their teeth and/or gums including tarnished or corroded fillings, fractured teeth, decay, bleeding gums and plaque. With this technology at our fingertips, the Doctors and the patient are able to work together to determine the right treatment plan to restore their mouth to optimal health.

• Provides patients a better understanding of their dental needs by being able to see exactly what the doctor sees.
• Allows us to recognize potential problems early that could possibly be missed by a visual examination.
• Allows us to effectively monitor a patient's treatment progress.
