CEREC stands for "Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics" and refers to a computer-assisted procedure for manufacturing dental prostheses. This innovative technology enables us to produce high-quality, impression-free dental prostheses directly at the treatment chair in our practice. The CEREC system combines state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology with precise computer technology and an integrated milling unit.CEREC treatment is based on a digital workflow that eliminates the need for conventional impressions. Instead, we use a special camera to create precise digital impressions of your teeth. This data is then processed by the CEREC software and converted into a three-dimensional model. Based on this, the system designs the optimal restoration that is perfectly adapted to your individual dental situation. Dr Niels Hoffmann has been using this technology successfully for years and appreciates its precision and the opportunity it offers to provide patients with time-efficient treatment. The CEREC procedure represents the current state of the art in digital dentistry.
Advantages of CEREC treatment
- Treatment in just one session without waiting for laboratory work
- No uncomfortable impression required thanks to digital impression taking
- Precise fit thanks to computer-aided manufacturing
- High-quality ceramic for natural aesthetics and durability
- Immediate functionality without temporary dentures
- Minimal time required for the patient
- Reduced number of treatment appointments
- Biocompatible materials for optimal compatibility
CEREC and biological dentistry
CEREC represents a biological approach to modern dentistry. The ceramic materials used are completely biocompatible and do not cause allergic reactions. Unlike metal restorations, there are no galvanic currents in the oral cavity that could disturb the biological balance.
The precise fit of CEREC restorations minimises bacterial accumulation at the edges and contributes to long-term oral health. Dr Niels Hoffmann particularly appreciates the ability to work in a way that preserves tooth structure while ensuring maximum biocompatibility. These characteristics make CEREC an ideal solution for patients who value biological dentistry.
