Dental Treatments in Less Time
Normally, placing a dental crown, veneer, inlay or onlay requires more than one visit to the dentist. By using CEREC technology, our dentists typically perform the entire procedure in one visit.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) allows for the fabrication of same-day ceramic dental restorations. Our Calgary dentists use CEREC technology to place crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays.
This state-of-the-art technology allows our dentists to offer a more efficient and convenient dental experience, ultimately enhancing the comfort and satisfaction of our patients.
Traditionally, getting a dental crown, veneer, or inlay/onlay would involve multiple visits to the dentist.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps fitted over teeth to restore their function and appearance. Crowns are used to attach bridges, cover implants, repair a cracked tooth, or help restore the natural appearance of a discoloured tooth.
Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made and bonded to the front of your natural tooth to change the symmetry, shape, or colour of your smile.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings that are typically used on molars to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard filling. These will provide additional support for your damaged tooth.

CEREC typically means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your schedule for dentist appointments.
