CHARLOTTE, N.C., US: CEREC on DS Core simplifies chairside workflows for teams new to digital dentistry. The cloud-based approach supports starting with single-visit treatments and scaling over time, with intuitive design tools, flexible access and seamless collaboration. The approach suits practices taking first steps into cloud-connected chairside workflows.

How the CEREC solution and DS Core facilitate single-visit dentistry

Today, dental professionals face pressure to deliver exceptional care quickly and efficiently, without added stress for patients or staff. For four decades, the CEREC workflow has supported high-quality, single-visit restorations while reducing the need for conventional impression trays and temporary crowns. According to Dentsply Sirona, more than 8 million restorations are produced annually using CEREC solutions, underscoring demand for streamlined, patient-friendly workflows. In a company-commissioned survey of 717 German dental patients conducted in 2015, about two-thirds said they would switch dentists for a single-visit treatment, and about half of that group were willing to pay more.

How DS Core and the CEREC system work together

The clinically proven CEREC system^1,3 enters a new era with CEREC on DS Core*—a cloud-based solution designed to bring flexibility, connectivity and convenience to dental practices. Whether starting out or scaling digital capabilities, teams can manage design and manufacturing tasks across devices and locations, making cloud-connected chairside workflows more accessible.

Practice challenges and how single-visit dentistry helps

Outsourcing reduction and greater control
Outsourcing restorations can be costly and time-consuming. With in-house manufacturing, the CEREC workflow provides comprehensive control—reducing laboratory costs, shortening turnaround times and enabling same-day delivery that supports patient satisfaction and practice growth.

Workflow efficiency and coordination
Running a busy practice means juggling appointments, staff and patient expectations. The CEREC workflow simplifies this with single-visit workflows that replace two rushed appointments with one streamlined visit. With DS Core, teams can manage jobs from any device, delegate tasks and collaborate in real time—contributing to more productive practice workflows.

Phased adoption and scalable growth
Adopting a cloud-based CEREC workflow does not require advanced digital expertise. Teams can begin with single crowns or inlays and onlays—the most common chairside indications—and expand to bridges, veneers or implant restorations as confidence and patient demand grow. Guided tools in DS Core support onboarding without a steep learning curve.

Flexible CEREC workflows: cloud-based design with remote management

CEREC on DS Core* is designed for flexible, connected workflows. Restorations can be designed in the cloud, with artificial intelligence-generated proposals for crowns, inlays and onlays, and every step—from scanning to milling—can be managed at any time and on any device. Teams can collaborate and hand off steps within the workflow, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Certain remote device services are available through the DS Core Care service plan.**
