I have had the most enjoyable morning, I had the wonderful privelege of treating one of my top referring dentists. It is a great vote of confidence when a fellow professional is happy for you to carry out treatment for them, the dentist in question required some back teeth restored, on discussion we decided to use the CEREC technology.
What is CEREC? , well log onto www.sirona.com and follow the link at the bottom to find out in detail. For those not wishing to do this it is basically a software package using Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacture (CADCAM) to make all ceramic (metal free) crowns and inlays for teeth. The biggest advantage for patients is that they leave with their crown or inlay being made on site (in front of their eyes) in 1 visit, no second trip, no impressions, no temporaries and no extra time of work. Overall it saves money and time and as a patient you get a top quality restoration.
We at Blueapple purchased one of these units earlier this year and to date I have been very impressed with the results, so much so I was happy to carry this treatment out this morning on probably the most critical of all patients…… a fellow dentist. It went very well and a relaxing few hours was spent by all, it really is a nice form of treatment to have and to carry out. At the end a new inlay and crown had been fitted and everyone was happy. Blueapple is the only dentist in the west of Ireland to have one of the CEREC units are proud to be the forefront of being able to offer our client base this exiciting and beneficial treatment option. At present looking back most of the cases we have done have been involved in the replacement of large unsightly amalgam (mercury) fillings which have fractured or been leaking.
Have a nice weekend
