Most treatments
run through CAD\/CAM<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Scanning, design and milling are not a special option here.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

At our clinic this is how most restorations are made, day to day.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Veneers and zirconia crowns. The scan reads the shape of the neighbouring teeth and the preparation; shade and translucency are matched by eye by our technician under the light.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Veneers can finish the same day; zirconia restorations need firing and shade finishing, so they take an overnight.<\/p>\n\t\t

Laminate veneers<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Same-day crowns (model-free)<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

No plaster model is made. The scan data goes straight into design and machining.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If you live in temporary materials for a long time after cavity treatment, bacteria may re-enter. Our in-house lab makes the prosthesis directly, which shortens the time spent in temporary materials.<\/p>\n\t\t

For a tooth damaged by decay or acid erosion, a zirconia crown brings the tooth back close to its natural form.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\tPlease note<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The times and visit counts above describe typical cases. Gum condition, remaining tooth structure and bone volume can add visits, and if same-day work is not advisable we explain why first. An examination and consultation are required before treatment.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Will my case finish in one day?<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

It differs from patient to patient. We recommend coming in for a proper examination so we can tell you exactly, rather than guessing from a photo.<\/p>\n\t\t
