CEREC
CEREC has revolutionized the way our practice delivers treatment to patients like you. This high-tech equipment allows us to restore damaged teeth in a single visit. The result is a beautiful, natural-colored restoration that is much stronger then before.

What is CEREC?
CEREC means we can quickly and economically restore damaged teeth using a ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth in your mouth. CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.

How does CEREC work?
First we prepare the damaged tooth by applying a thin layer of reflective powder directly on the tooth's surface. Using a special camera, we take a picture of the tooth. We work from this photo, which is actually a pin-sharp optical impression of the tooth.

Computer Aided Design technology helps us design the restoration from the optical impression. You can actually watch us design your new restoration on a full color computer monitor right before your eyes.

Then CEREC creates an extremely precise restoration. A high speed diamond bur and a disk work simultaneously to mill the restoration out of a solid block of ceramic material.. Finally we bond the newly milled restoration to the tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.

Over a decade of clinical research and experience supports the CEREC technology. User input and research have helped the manufacturer improve the product during this time. Dentists have performed over four million restorations worldwide.

What advantages does CEREC offer me?
First and foremost, the restoration can be performed in a single session, usually in about an hour. With CEREC there's no need for us to make an impression and send it to a lab. We won't inconvenience you by asking you to return for a second visit.

Secondly, the restoration is natural looking, because it is made of tooth-colored ceramic material! It's metal-free -- no silver fillings to discolor your smile. The ceramic material is compatible with tissue in your mouth and is high grade, anti-abrasive and plaque resistant. It allows us to be extremely precise and save more of the health part of your tooth.

The Choice is simple. Beautiful Results, One visit!
