In our office, we almost never do a crown on a tooth.  We can repair a tooth more
conservatively and leave it healthier and stronger by doing a bonded filling or
onlay restoration. By using the newest upgraded Cerec AC machine, we no longer 
have to place a temporary and have a patient come back in 2 weeks. Restorations 
that are beautiful, strong, and long lasting can be finished in only one appointment 
of about one hour! We conserve not only the teeth but also our patient’s time! 

Chairside:  The technology is in the dental operatory and is used while you are  
in the chair.
Economical:  The procedure is economical for both dentist and patient.
Restorations: The procedure restores your tooth to its natural beauty, function, 
and strength.
of Esthetic:  The restorations are metal-free and tooth-colored.
Ceramic:  High-strength ceramics are used that are close in composition to your 
natural tooth structure.

...for an advanced dental restorative system that allows us to restore decayed teeth, 
place crowns, remove defective amalgam fillings, or place cosmetic veneers in just
one appointment. This allows you to have the highest quality, most lifelike dental 
restorations in just one visit to the dentist...in, out, and on with your busy life.  

The state of the art CEREC system was developed in 1985 at the University of 
Zurich in Switzerland by a dentist, Dr. Werner H. Mormann, and an electrical 
engineer, Dr. Markus Brandistini.  Today, CEREC 3 with CEREC 3D software
is still the world's only chair side dental CAD/CAM restorative system.  At the 
heart of the system is the innovative technology.

The CEREC Acquisition Unit is mobile and houses a medical grade computer and
the CEREC camera. We use the camera to take a digital picture of your prepared 
tooth. This picture is used instead of a traditional impression. This means no
impression tray and material for you to gag on.  The computer and CEREC 3D
software converts the digital picture to a three dimensional virtual model of your 
prepped tooth. We then design your restoration right on screen using the 
software while you wait (and watch!).  This software can assist us with designing 
any single tooth restoration: crowns, inlays (fillings), onlays (partial crowns), and 
veneers.  Once we have designed your restoration (usually about 5 minutes), we 
click a button and the design data is communicated via a wireless radio signal to 
the CEREC Milling Unit. With CEREC technology, we can restore damaged
teeth or enhance your smile with bio-compatible, tooth-colored materials in a 
single appointment. This technology has a track record of almost 20 years, and
more than 100 studies confirm the clinical excellence of the method. This 
procedure is useful for replacing old silver filings as well as worn out composite
fillings. Since it only takes one appointment, you don't have to come back for a 
second appointment and you don't have to worry about any temporaries falling 
out between appointments.  Ask us about CEREC today.
