Cerec - Crowns, Bridges, Veneers & Inlays

Same Day Service

At Waiata Shores Dental, we understand that a confident smile can change lives. Our commitment to providing the latest dental technology and techniques has led us to offer CEREC crowns, bridges, veneers, and inlays. These state-of-the-art solutions can transform your smile with unparalleled precision and conveniences.

CEREC Crowns - A Crown Fit for a King or Queen

CEREC crowns, also known as same-day crowns, have revolutionised the dental industry. Gone are multiple appointments and waiting weeks for your permanent crown. With CEREC technology, we can create a customized, natural-looking crown in just one visit. Whether you need to restore a damaged tooth or enhance your smile, CEREC crowns are the perfect solution.

Ceramic Crowns
To fix a damaged or decayed tooth, they offer a lasting repair that virtually eliminates the gum irritation and impaired taste that people often experience with conventional metal crowns.

Benefits of CEREC Crowns:

  • Speed: Walk in with a problem tooth, walk out with a beautiful, fully functional crown.

  • Accuracy: CEREC uses 3D imaging to ensure a precise fit and a natural appearance. The restoration is then fabricated from a ceramic block on our milling machine, right in our clinic.

  • Durability: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality materials designed to last for years.

  • Convenience: No need for messy impressions or temporary crowns. The dentist places the custom-fit restoration a short time later, during the same visit.

Bridging the Gap with CEREC Bridges

Missing teeth can affect your self-confidence and oral health. CEREC bridges offer a seamless solution to fill the gaps in your smile. Our experienced team can create a customized bridge that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth, restoring your smile's natural beauty and function.

Why Choose CEREC Bridges?

  • Aesthetics: CEREC bridges are crafted to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth.

  • Comfort: Say goodbye to uncomfortable gaps and hello to a fully functional smile.

  • Efficiency: No need to wait weeks with gaps in your smile - CEREC bridges are designed and placed in a single visit.

Veneers - Your Ticket to a Hollywood Smile

Veneers are the secret behind many celebrities' stunning smiles, and now you can enjoy the same transformative power. Whether you have stained, misaligned, or chipped teeth, our CEREC veneers can give you a radiant, picture-perfect smile.

Ceramic Veneers

If you have chipped or discolored front teeth, ceramic veneers are a great, natural-looking solution—and using this system, they’re also a more convenient one for you. 

Advantages of CEREC Veneers:

  • Quick Transformation: Achieve a beautiful smile in just one visit.

  • Customization: Veneers are tailored to your unique preferences, ensuring a natural appearance.

  • Durability: CEREC veneers are built to last, giving you long-lasting confidence.

Inlays - A Subtle Solution for Big Problems

When your tooth's damage is too extensive for a simple filling but doesn't require an entire crown, CEREC inlays offer the ideal compromise. These custom-fit restorations preserve your tooth's structure and function while seamlessly blending into your smile.

Ceramic Inlays and Onlays
Unlike ordinary traditional materials, ceramic fillings not only offer you higher quality, but a natural tooth-like color—which makes them popular with our patients.

Why Opt for CEREC Inlays?

  • Preservation: Inlays conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.

  • Strength: CEREC inlays are crafted from durable materials for long-lasting results.

  • Precision: Our advanced technology ensures a snug fit and excellent functionality.

Why it’s better for you?

  • Eliminates the unpleasant impression process

    The digital scanner captures a full-mouth image in seconds—no biting down on impression material for several minutes, no numbness, and no jaw ache.

  • No follow-up appointment necessary

    We create and place your permanent dental restoration in one visit, letting you get on with life—eliminating the need for an uncomfortable, inconvenient temporary crown.

  • A long-term solution

    Proven in dental practices millions of times over to offer lasting results, it’s trusted technology developed by Dentsply Sirona, the world leader in dental solutions.

  • Looks and acts like a real tooth

    Unlike many conventional crowns that use a metal base (which limits translucency) and can have a dark edge, a CEREC crown looks and feels like your natural tooth. And it most closely matches the hardness of a real tooth, helping prevent wear and tear.

  • Preserves more of your natural tooth

    Only decayed or damaged tooth surface is removed, preserving as much of the healthy tooth as possible.
