Re-create the natural appearance and feel of damaged teeth and smiles in a single appointment.
- You know how new fillings can feel un-natural, temporary crowns can fall off and permanent fillings and crowns can look unsightly?
- Well, what Cerec 3D can do is to provide colour matched, pure porcelain fillings, inlays and crowns that look completely natural – and in a single appointment.
- The benefit of this is the efficient and quick restoration of the natural feel and appearance of your tooth with predictable, long-lasting results. - Would you like to know more?
Dr. Andrew Prynne of Definitive Dentistry in Bournemouth is one of the very few dentists in the area to provide this cutting edge technology.
The Cerec 3D system is able to restore almost any part of a filled or damaged tooth to its natural form and function in a single appointment.
Historically, cavities in teeth have been restored in the mouth by packing the defect with a soft filling material, which the dentist has to shape by hand before it sets. Heavily damaged teeth have been restored by a laboratory technician over a two-week period on a model of the remaining tooth structure provided by the dentist – in the meantime, patients have had to wear vulnerable plastic, temporary covers over the teeth before having these removed again at the final fitting appointment.
Now, with Cerec 3D, all of these compromises have been removed.
How does it work?
The cleaned and prepared tooth is scanned in the mouth using a 3D infrared beam This is converted by a computer into a 3D model of the tooth on which the dentist designs the inlay, onlay, crown or veneer. The shape of the restoration is based on a huge database of healthy, natural teeth and is adapted by the computer to the local conditions in the patient’s mouth.
The approved design is then transmitted to the MC XL milling unit that then delivers a perfect, pure porcelain restoration in four to six minutes. The new restoration is checked for accurate fit and harmony in the mouth and is then bonded seamlessly into place.
Dr. Andrew Prynne said “The results are truly stunning _ I am able to provide a high quality service to my patients in a convenient, single appointment.”
One of Dr. Prynne’s first patients to use the system said “I had a tooth that continually broke which resulted in repeated visits to the dentist. As soon as the new technology arrived at the practice, I jumped at the chance to have my tooth repaired using this method. It's so clever - a 3d image of my tooth was created and it fitted perfectly first time! I'm going to have more of my teeth repaired this way in future.'
Definitive Dentistry is one of a handful of pioneering dental practices in the Bournemouth area to offer this revolutionary advance in private cosmetic dentistry.
