Single visit restorations

We are now providing CEREC dental restorations.  This digital technology allows us to provide patients with dental crowns, veneers, and other types of single-tooth restorations in one visit. These restorations are computer generated and milled at our practice.  There is no need for external laboratories or temporary crowns.

What is CEREC?

CEREC is a revolutionary dental technology that helps your dentist create crowns, veneers, and other types of single-tooth restorations in just one visit. Traditional methods required you come back for several appointments, often enduring repeated X-rays or other tests to ensure a proper fit.

Using a dedicated intra-oral camera, together with the state-of-the-art CAD/CAM equipment the dentist can design, construct and fit individual CEREC crowns or other ceramic restorations as you relax comfortably.

Benefits of CEREC

• Your dentist has complete control of the shape, contour and fit
• Strong durable, metal free restoration. The ceramic materials used are lightweight and most similar to your own enamel in terms of wear, aesthetics and flexibility.
• Accuracy of fit and precision of the digital mapping technology are better than any impressions or models made by an outside lab. Because CEREC relies on advanced camera technology (versus messy impression materials) to capture an impression of your teeth, the CEREC procedure is an easy and comfortable alternative to traditional dental crowns.
• The complete treatment can be done in one visit meaning you spend less time in the dental chair.
• Conservative preparation. (As much of the tooth as possible is preserved).
• Surrounding teeth are not affected.
• No messy impressions
• With proper care the restoration will last years, maybe even decades.
