Getting some dental work done? Go CEREC!

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

I recently needed a number of dental crowns and inlays, but I didn’t have the time or patience to wait around for the dentist to build them, or to go to a handful of appointments. I talked to my Reading dentist and he told me about CEREC dentistry, and it sounded perfect. CEREC is a system that creates your replacement teeth or whatever you need within minutes. Because the system works so efficiently, you can literally walk in and out of your dentists and that’ll be the end of it. CEREC technology took a scan of my teeth, and then a different machine set about making them, using a tooth-coloured porcelain mix.

The only downside of CEREC that I found was the price. It cost me almost a thousand pounds per tooth. Despite that, I am completely happy with what I had done, and the quality of the teeth is amazing. I researched CEREC teeth, and apparently they’re much stronger than ordinary replacement teeth, so I suppose you get what you pay for. The biggest advantage CEREC can offer is probably chopping down the time you spend at the dentist and the time you have to wait for the replacement teeth. Time is precious, and the last place you want to spend it is in a dentist’s chair.
