Traditionally a dental crown in made in a dental laboratory, meaning that for the patient, getting a crown requires two or more visits to the practice. One appointment is to prepare the tooth and take an impression of the tooth, and one appointment is for the fitting of the crown. CEREC crowns (One Visit Dentistry) are made using CAD/CAM software which takes a 3D image of the tooth. The image automatically makes a digital model, where the crown is designed by the dentist and then transferred to the milling machine to be cut from a block of porcelain. The CEREC crown is both natural-looking and strong because it is milled from a solid block of ceramic material. The entire procedure can be completed in a single visit. There is no need to construct a temporary fitting, take impressions, and wait for the permanent crown or veneer to be made at the dental laboratory. The main advantages of CEREC crowns and veneers are convenience, high quality ceramic, non-toxic, metal-free and made from a biocompatible porcelain material.

By using digital impression equipment, we have reduced significantly the use of clinical impression materials. This provides our patients with a more pleasurable experience and helps us protect the environment.
contact usIt is estimated that digital X-ray systems significantly reduce the amount of radiation released to the environment when compared with conventional X-ray systems. It is estimated that each dental clinic would prevent the disposal of around 200 litres of toxic dental X-ray fixer solution and more than 7,200 lead foils over a five period. At MP Dental Practice, we use Digital X-rays systems and radiography.
