CEREC – Same day dental crowns or inlays

A whole new breed of dentistry for the busy people of Bristol. How great would it be to be able to have your dentistry in a single appointment? Many people find that having dental crowns and permanent white fillings is not the most productive way of spending their time – often having to return for repeat appointments means you get less done of things you need or wish to do!

With CEREC we use modern technology to allow your new tooth to literally be ‘born in front of your eyes’ and save time at the dentist. CEREC Same Day Crowns use 3 steps to help save you time:

  1. We digitally scan your tooth which needs the filling or crown (this replaces the impression goo)
  2. The computer then designs your new tooth on screen (this replaces the dental technician and saves time)
  3. Our milling machine gently cuts your new tooth from a solid block of industrial grade ceramic (this is the part where your new crown is born in front of your eyes)

CEREC is great if:

  • You are nervous of needles and want to reduce the amount of injections you have
  • You lead a busy lifestyle and don’t wish, or are unable, to come to many repeat appointments
  • You find dental impressions uncomfortable with them making you gag

What is a Cerec crown or inlay?

Cerec is the brand name of a system that can design and make a crown in a single visit. It uses 3D imaging technology to take a picture of your tooth once it has been prepared, and then will design the ideal shaped crown or inlay. This information is used by the milling unit to create your crown.

What is the crown or inlay made from?

A Cerec crown or inlay is 100% metal-free but still incredibly strong. It is made from ceramic and bonded to your tooth. The material that the crown or inlay is made from bends and flexes in a similar way to natural tooth material, so reduces the chance of tooth fracture in the future.

Why would I choose a Cerec crown or inlay?

These crowns are currently ideal for all areas of the mouth other than the very front, where we believe the artistry of a dental technician would provide a better aesthetic result. Because a Cerec crown is made at Evolve Dentistry while you wait, you save time as you only need one appointment, meaning that you only need one injection.

What happens during my appointment?

During your appointment you would still be made numb if you require local anaesthetic. Your tooth or teeth are then prepared for the crown or inlay.

Once our dentist is happy that the tooth is the correct shape, a camera is used to scan your mouth, the opposite teeth and the teeth biting together. From this information, the crown or inlay can be designed and customised for your mouth. Once the crown or inlay has been designed it is milled in the milling unit.

During this process you can relax in our reception area with a cold drink and read a magazine or you can watch your crown or inlay being created. It is then bonded into your mouth. As the Cerec system is incredibly accurate, your crown or inlay will have an excellent fit.

How long will my Cerec crown or inlay last?

Studies have shown that a Cerec restoration can last as long as conventional crowns or even longer. The average lifespan is 10 -15 years if properly cared for.

In order to get the best out of your crown or inlay, we recommend that you visit us regularly as advised by your dentist. It is still possible to get decay under any crown, inlay or filling, regular appointments will reduce the risk of this.

Will it cost me any more to have a Cerec crown?

The cost to you is the same or lower as a traditional crown or inlay as we believe this is one of the best way to restore your teeth and so would like you to benefit from the technology available.

Can I come to you if I already have a dentist?

Yes, we are happy to carry out your treatment and you would continue to see your own dentist for all your routine treatment.

💚 Looking after yourself goes beyond your smile.

At Evolve Dentistry, we believe that feeling good is about caring for your whole body and mind. That’s why we love connecting with other local businesses in Portishead that share our passion for health and wellbeing.

This month, we’re delighted to feature Jessica from @flexe_pilates , a local Reformer Pilates studio, on our website.

Have you ever thought about trying Pilates but felt a little nervous about taking that first step?

Jessica has written a lovely beginner-friendly guide that answers some of the questions you might have, including:

✨ What actually happens in a Reformer Pilates class?
✨ Do you need to be fit or flexible to start?
✨ What should you expect from your first session?
✨ How often should beginners practise Pilates?

Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve mobility or simply find a little time for yourself, it’s a great introduction.

We’re proud to support our local Portishead community and share advice from people who are passionate about helping others feel their best.

What do we hope you remember after visiting Evolve?

Not just whether your teeth feel cleaner or whether your appointment ran on time.

We hope you remember being listened to. Having the chance to ask questions. Feeling comfortable enough to say if something worries you. And knowing that decisions about your care were made with you, not simply for you.

In this short video, Carol shares what she hopes people take away from their time with us.

It’s a lovely reminder that the way you feel during an appointment matters every bit as much as the dentistry itself. 💚

Do you clench or grind your teeth without realising?

For some people it happens during sleep. Others notice themselves clenching when they’re concentrating or under pressure.

Over time, tooth grinding can contribute to worn or chipped teeth, jaw discomfort, headaches or sensitivity.

Richard explains some of the common reasons people grind their teeth and why it’s worth mentioning if you think you might be doing it.

There isn’t one solution that’s right for everybody, so the first step is understanding what’s happening in your individual case.
