Why is bonding so good?


Bonding fillings and crowns means that we can make long lasting large restorations without having to take as much tooth away.


Bonding to the tooth means that the restoration is chemically and physically attached to the tooth. Not only does the tooth support the restoration, but the restoration supports the tooth. Previously, the tooth was not strengthened unless it was crowned.

The main component of the bonding agent is a resin which attaches to the prepared collagen within the dentine forming a very strong attachment. The resin then chemically bonds to the porcelain restoration using a silane coupling agent.

Cerec ceramic fillings and crowns

We are now able to fit bridges, crowns, veneers and long lasting ceramic white fillings in one visit, without the need for impressions. These restorations are actually bonded, rather than just glued in position and this helps strengthen the tooth as a whole. Using the Cerec system, we can also do this in one visit which means less injections, no impressions or temporary fillings and inconvenient additional visits.

To summarise, Cerec ceramic restorations are ideal if:

  • You want a long lasting restoration.
  • You want to keep as much of your own natural tooth as possible.
  • You want to minimize the number of trips to the surgery.
  • You want your teeth to look as natural as possible
