Porcelain Fillings (Cerec)

Cerec Porcelain Inlays/Crowns and Veneers

At Visage we do not place mercury-based fillings in our patients' mouths and we have therefore invested in the most exciting advance in dentistry today. The Cerec System allows us to create beautiful, life-like porcelain inlay fillings in a single visit.

Crowns and veneers just a single appointment.
Cerec porcelain is the closest material to natural enamel in that it exhibits the same optical and wear characteristics. It therefore blends imperceptibly with the surrounding tooth becoming almost invisible. Normally such restorations would have required two appointments, plus two weeks of laboratory time. At Visage, however, we can now complete the restoration in a single appointment. An infrared camera is used to digitally scan the cavity in the patient's tooth and the Cerec computer designs the porcelain restoration. This is then milled from a single ingot of porcelain and bonded to the patient's tooth producing really breathtaking results.
