CEREC
CHAIRSIDE
Benefits, limitations, equipment and digital workflow
Digital restoration in a single visit.
CEREC Chairside connects intraoral scanning, CAD design and CAM fabrication in one workflow. The goal is to move from a prepared tooth to a fitted restoration quickly and accurately and, in suitable cases, without multiple visits.

Scan → Design → Manufacture → Finish
Scan
A digital three-dimensional model of the tooth and surrounding dentition.
Design
CAD design of the restoration, adapted to anatomy and occlusion.
Manufacture
Milling or grinding the restoration from a suitable material.
Finish
Sintering, staining, glazing, fitting and delivery.
Fast and accurate digital scanning.
Primescan creates a three-dimensional model of the oral cavity. It is the entry point to the CEREC digital workflow.

On-site restoration fabrication.
Primemill is designed to mill and grind dental restorations from a range of materials. It combines production speed with accurate, high-quality fit.

Sintering and finishing at Chairside speed.
SpeedFire is a compact system for rapid sintering and finishing of ceramic restorations. The professional source material cites approximately 10–15 minutes for sintering a zirconia crown, depending on its size and volume.

3D printing within the digital ecosystem.
Primeprint is intended for dental applications such as models, guides and temporary solutions, and integrates into CAD/CAM workflows.

Speed, comfort, accuracy and aesthetics.
Fewer visits
Suitable treatments can be completed in a single visit.
Digital scanning
Less reliance on traditional impressions and temporary restorations.
Computer-aided design
Greater control over fit, shape and function.
Aesthetics
A range of ceramic materials and patient-specific design.
Not every case should stay chairside.
The system is particularly effective for small to medium restorations. Complex cases may require laboratory time, additional equipment or a combined workflow. A high level of skill, training and proper management of materials and equipment are also essential.
Technology works better with a technician in the picture.
The professional material emphasises that involving a dental technician improves the quality of the work, reduces the dentist's workload and enables a more precise, personalised fit — especially in design, aesthetics and complex cases.
We bring this model to the clinic.
VolfDent Chairside is built around the dentist and technician working together on site: from scanning and design through fabrication, finishing and fitting. In suitable cases, the patient can complete treatment in about two hours.
