CEREC and digital dentistry in Wathlingen

Digital dentistry covers the technologies used in diagnosis, planning and treatment. It improves precision, efficiency and comfort for patients.

Key areas of digital dentistry

01

Digital diagnostics and planning

  • 3D imaging (CBCT) shows jaw and teeth in three dimensions for more precise diagnosis, especially in implantology and root canal treatment.
  • Intraoral scanners capture tooth structure digitally and replace uncomfortable impression material.
02

CAD/CAM technology

  • Digital design and computer-aided manufacture of crowns, bridges and inlays in very little time.
  • Chairside production in the practice with milling unit and 3D printer.
03

3D printing

  • Additive manufacturing of restorations, surgical guides, models and splints.
  • Faster, individually adapted solutions.
04

Digital implantology and navigation

  • Implant planning with 3D imaging for maximum precision.
  • Navigated implantology places implants to the millimetre.
05

Cerec Primescan intraoral scanner

  • Thousands of images are processed into an accurate digital 3D model.
  • Data can be sent to the laboratory digitally, saving time and material.
06

Digital patient records

  • Digital records and consultation improve communication between patient and dentist.
  • Findings and plans can be shown clearly on screen.

The advantages of digital dentistry

  • More precise diagnosis and treatment through better planning.
  • Time efficiency: restorations made faster, with less waiting.
  • Comfort: less invasive procedures and no unpleasant impressions.
  • Sustainability: less material used and cleaner workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get my crown in a single day?
In many cases, yes. With CEREC we scan, design and mill ceramic restorations in the practice, so one appointment is often enough.
Do I still need impression material?
Usually not. The intraoral scanner records your teeth digitally – more comfortable, faster and without gagging.
How much radiation does 3D imaging involve?
Modern CBCT works with a clearly reduced dose, and we only use it when the 3D information is genuinely needed.
