CEREC or dental laboratory — two approaches, concrete differences in precision, lead times, and comfort. Dr. Zerguine explains from his daily practice in Montreux.

What is CEREC technology? CEREC — Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics — is a digital dentistry technology that makes it possible to design and manufacture a ceramic restoration directly in the practice, in a single appointment. Unlike conventional methods, CEREC is based on a fully digital workflow: 3D intraoral scan, computer-aided design, precise ceramic

When a tooth is damaged by decay or a fracture, a full crown is not always the only solution. In certain situations, a partial restoration called an inlay or onlay allows more of the tooth structure to be preserved while ensuring strength and durability. With digital dentistry, these restorations can now be designed and manufactured
