CEREC is an in-practice system that designs and mills a crown, veneer or onlay while you wait, so there's no temporary restoration and no second visit for fitting. We're one of a small number of CEREC providers in the Midlands.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a chairside system that scans, designs and mills a bespoke ceramic crown, veneer or onlay while you wait, instead of sending an impression to an outside laboratory. It suits anyone needing a restoration who would rather have it finished in one visit than return for a fitting.
We examine your teeth, discuss what you want to change, and explain the CEREC process in detail so you know what to expect.
A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to make room for the restoration.
Our CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) system scans your teeth and mills your bespoke crown, veneer or onlay in-practice, with no temporary restoration and no wait for a lab.
Your restoration is bonded in place and adjusted for fit and colour, with a follow-up if anything needs checking once you’ve settled in.

CEREC combines a camera, computer and milling instrument in one machine, so a crown, veneer or onlay can be designed and made chairside in a single visit, rather than sent to a lab over several weeks.
CEREC restorations are used for crowns, veneers and onlays, whether a tooth needs strengthening after decay or damage, or you want a cosmetic change to its shape or shade.
A crown is a cap that covers your whole tooth, restoring its shape, size and strength. It’s often needed to strengthen a decaying or cracked tooth, restore a broken tooth, support a tooth with a large filling, or as the final step after a root canal.
A veneer is a thin, custom-made shell that covers the front surface of your tooth, used mainly for cosmetic changes such as discolouration, chips or an irregular shape.
An onlay, sometimes called a partial crown, covers one or more of the cusps on your tooth’s biting surface. It’s the option when a tooth is too damaged to support a filling but not damaged enough to need a full crown.
The CEREC system has been in use for almost 30 years, with more than 30 million restorations produced worldwide. We are one of only a small number of CEREC providers in the Midlands.

Restorative dentistry means repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones. It includes fillings, crowns, root canals, gum disease care, bridges, dentures and implants. Your dentist can explain which suit you.
A cracked tooth can be a surface line or a deeper crack that reaches the nerve, so see a dentist if you suspect one. A swollen face needs an urgent dental appointment. Trouble breathing or swallowing needs 999 or A&E.
A crown covers a tooth, but plaque can still build up where it meets the gum, so daily brushing, cleaning between your teeth and regular check-ups still matter. See a dentist if a crown feels loose or comes off.
Book a consultation to find out whether a same-day CEREC crown, veneer or onlay suits your tooth, before you decide.
