WHAT IS CEREC® ?
CEREC® by Sirona Dental Systems is the world's first and only chairside CAD/CAM restorative device.

Backed by more than 250 clinical studies over the last 20 years, CEREC has provided dental restorative solutions to millions of patients and dentists worldwide. CEREC by Sirona is one of the most advanced products in world dentistry with over 6 million restorations worldwide. Sirona’s CEREC CAD/CAM dental restoration method simultaneously designs and mills, enabling the dentist to prepare perfectly fitted ceramic restorations in one patient visit, with huge savings in time and laboratory costs.

Solid blocks of ceramic material are converted into beautifully fitted inlays, onlays, partial crowns, full anterior and posterior crowns or veneers. The final result is aesthetic and adhesive boding can allow design changes, so healthy tooth material can be saved and devitalisation avoided.

The name CEREC stands for Ceramic Reconstruction. The method was developed by Prof. W. Mörmann and Dr. M. Brandestini in 1980 at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. The first patients had been treated with CEREC inlays in 1985 at the University of Zurich. From this time CEREC has undergone continuous technical and clinical developments. Today it is used worldwide by a growing number of dentists in their practices.

The CEREC method means today

The CEREC method combines adhesive bonding techniques with rapid production of all-ceramic inlays, onlays, partial crowns, veneers and crowns for the anterior, premolar and molar regions. This results in a unique combination creating biocompatible, non-metallic, natural looking restorations from durable high-quality ceramic materials, in a single treatment session, and without the need of provisional fillings.

Finest Dental Materials
A CEREC tooth restoration isn't just convenient, it is also healthy. Many years ago, dentists had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals. With CEREC, our dentists can use strong, tooth colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function.

These materials closely match the composition of natural tooth structure. This means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration and tooth expand and contract at almost equal rates. So, your tooth does not crack, and you can go on enjoying your evening. Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so your dentist can save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth.

Smile Enhancement
Your dentist can use CEREC for more than just crowns and fillings. CEREC is capable of producing any single tooth restoration. Chipped or discolored front teeth can be repaired with beautiful CEREC porcelain anterior crowns or veneers. Your smile makes a lasting first impression. Enhance it with CEREC.

Worldwide, a CEREC restoration is placed every 20 seconds. With a history of nearly 20 years, this equipment has helped dentists place over 6 million restorations. Using metal free materials that are the closest to your natural enamel, CEREC gives you the highest quality restorative care. Ask our dentists today about single visit CEREC restorative care!
