Digital dental prosthetics in Bologna: advanced CEREC technology
Advanced CAD/CAM technology for single-visit restorations
Marenco Dental Clinic is equipped with advanced digital workflows designed to manufacture high-precision dental prosthetics, often within a single visit. Using the CEREC CAD/CAM system by Dentsply Sirona, we provide custom-made crowns, inlays, and other high-quality digital dental restorations, while significantly reducing treatment times and eliminating the need for uncomfortable traditional impression materials.
“Uncomfortable physical impressions, long waiting periods, and multiple clinical appointments are now a thing of the past.”
Advanced digital technology for precise dental restorations
Our fully integrated in-house digital ecosystem consists of state-of-the-art clinical instruments:
▸ Intraoral Scanner: captures highly accurate 3D digital impressions quickly and comfortably, eliminating the need for traditional impression trays and impression materials.
▸ Dental Milling Unit: fabricates high-precision ceramic restorations directly from digital designs, allowing many treatments to be completed during a single visit.
▸ 3D Printer: engineered to manufacture complex dental structures and prosthetic frameworks with exceptional precision, supporting advanced restorative treatments.
▸ Induction Furnace: used for the final characterization and glazing of dental restorations, completing the finishing process in just a few minutes.
These advanced instruments enable our clinical team to deliver fully customized, precise, and highly reliable prosthetic solutions entirely in-house.
"Digital dental prosthetics provide highly precise, biocompatible restorations, often completed within a single visit."
Key advantages of digital dental prosthetics
Digital dentistry offers substantial clinical benefits to our international patients:
▸ Same-Day Crowns and Single-Visit Restorations: many ceramic crowns, inlays, and other restorations can be designed, manufactured, and fitted during a single visit, depending on the clinical situation.
▸ Enhanced Patient Comfort: reduces discomfort related to the gag reflex by replacing traditional impression trays with comfortable optical scanning.
▸ Biocompatible Metal-Free Materials: exclusive use of highly resistant zirconia and advanced metal-free ceramics.
▸ Natural Aesthetics: restorations replicate the natural translucency, shade, and anatomy of natural teeth.
▸ Long-Term Durability: highly precise marginal adaptation helps reduce the risk of secondary caries while supporting long-term structural stability.
“Digital precision helps minimize adjustments, improves marginal adaptation, and supports highly predictable long-term clinical outcomes."
Available digital treatments
Our CEREC CAD/CAM system allows us to design and manufacture restorations directly in the clinic:
▸ Monolithic zirconia and metal-free ceramic dental crowns.
▸ High-precision ceramic inlays, onlays, and veneers.
▸ Customized partial or complete prosthetic reconstructions.
Digital workflows also play a key role in complex implant-supported rehabilitations, combining advanced planning, fixed prosthetics, and CAD/CAM technology to restore function and stability.

Digital Dental Prosthetics (FAQ)
What does “digital dental prosthetics” mean?
A digital dental prosthetic is a custom restoration (such as a crown, inlay, veneer, or bridge) designed and manufactured using advanced computer technology. The process begins with a 3D optical scan captured via an intraoral scanner, completely replacing traditional impression pastes.
The restoration is then digitally modeled using CAD/CAM software and fabricated via precise in-house milling or 3D printing. This approach ensures high precision, superior biological adaptation, and optimal aesthetic results.
How long does it take to create a digital dental prosthetic?
Thanks to our integrated CEREC system, many single crowns, aesthetic inlays, and individual restorations can be fully designed, manufactured, and fitted within a single visit.
This significantly reduces treatment times compared to traditional laboratory methods, allowing patients to complete their treatment efficiently in just one visit.
How is a digital prosthetic different from a traditional one?
What are the benefits?
Traditional prosthetics rely on manual plaster models and physical impression materials that can induce a gag reflex and introduce minor structural discrepancies.
Digital prosthetics, conversely, utilize highly accurate optical scanning and computerized modeling.
The key benefits include excellent marginal precision, a significantly more comfortable patient experience, drastically reduced treatment times, and the exclusive use of high-strength, metal-free biocompatible materials.
How long does a digital prosthetic last?
Is it as durable as a traditional one?
Yes. Digital prosthetics offer durability comparable to traditional restorations when properly designed, manufactured, and maintained. They are milled from highly uniform, industrialized blocks of zirconia and advanced ceramics, which exhibit exceptional structural integrity.
Furthermore, the high precision of the digital margin ensures an optimal seal, minimizing bacterial infiltration and wear over time.
Who is a good candidate for a digital dental prosthetic?
When is it indicated?
Digital prosthetics are ideal for any patient requiring a fixed or removable restoration, from Same-Day Crowns and structural inlays to full-arch rehabilitations.
It is highly recommended for individuals seeking metal-free, natural-looking aesthetics, patients with limited time who prefer single-visit treatments, and anyone with a sensitive gag reflex who wishes to avoid traditional physical impression trays.
Additionally, the 3D digital design can be securely stored in our archive for seamless replication or future modifications if required.
