CEREC – A Breakthrough in Dental Technology for Quick Teeth Restoration Treatment

8th May, 2013

Gone are the days when you had to endure 3 to 4 sittings for dental crowns and porcelain teeth restoration. With the astonishing advancements in technology and new innovations, these dental treatments can be performed in a single visit, within a few hours. This is definitely good news for people in search of quick and reliable dental treatments for damaged teeth.

CEREC is the new face of dental technology, offering the best results and teeth restoration in one go. It is considered to be a breakthrough in the field of dentistry. It is used for ceramic crown treatments, inlay and porcelain veneers. Nonetheless, since this is a new innovation, not many dental service providers have it or know how to use it. Therefore, it is recommended to get your dental appointment from an experienced and reliable dental service provider who has expertise and hands on experience in using CEREC technology, because after all, dental treatment is a highly sensitive issue.

How CEREC Technology Works in Restoration of Damaged Teeth

The dentist takes the image of your tooth with an infrared camera and the image is instantly downloaded in the CAD CAM program to create a 3D virtual model of the image. This is viewed on the computer and manipulated by the dentist to create an appropriate sized crown right away. With CEREC, the laboratory related steps for crown manufacturing are eliminated. This technology is fast and quickens the teeth restoration procedure.

Benefits of CEREC Technology to the Dental Patient

There are several benefits of CEREC technology for dental patients like you, such as:

  • It takes only one visit to the dentist to get your teeth fixed.
  • It saves time and money.
  • You get a fully restored, natural, life-like smile.
  • The treatment involves fewer injections.
  • It takes less drilling.
  • it is convenient and healthy.

Crown lengthening can improve your smile

13th April, 2013

Crown lengthening is a dental cosmetic procedure. It is generally used on patients who feel that their teeth are too small to create a beautiful smile. This procedure is also sometimes called a gum lift.

A crown lengthening procedure is a type of oral surgery. In order to make the teeth appear longer a dentist will remove excess gum tissue, which will make the individual teeth look longer and taller. In some situations the dentists may even remove some the bone surrounding the teeth. Most of the time this procedure is performed in order to improve the aesthetic value of the face, but in some cases it can be used to help treat certain medical problems, such as providing space for fillings and porcelain crowns.

A crown lengthening procedure is performed under a local anaesthetic. The dentist will numb the area, then they will make a series of small slits in the gums to pull them away from the teeth. Any excess gum tissue will be removed, as well as a tiny amount of bone if necessary. Once the proper amount of gum tissue and bone is removed the gums are cleaned and stitched up. The results will be longer individual teeth.

Many patients pair crown lengthening with dermal filler treatment to create a subtle plumping effect in the lips. Together this can give your smile a more aesthetic appearance. Dermal fillers like Restylane, are administered by trained professionals at Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre, and comprise a series of injections to your desired target area such as the lips. The plumping effect becomes visible immediately after treatment and can last for a number of months.

Crown lengthening procedures can help patients who feel that their smile is too ‘gummy’. It can also help increase the amount of tooth space available to apply veneers or prevent tooth problems. This procedure can also fix uneven or excessive gum lines. Patients who are interested in crown lengthening procedures and dermal filler in Kent should consult the team at Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre, located at 189-191 Parrock Street, in Gravesend, Kent DA12 1EN.

The dedicated dental staff, led by Dr Rik Trivedi (BDS), can answer all questions regarding this procedure and other facial aesthetic procedures. Parrock Street Dental and Implant Centre can be reached by calling 01474 537191
