CEREC Information
Why patients are choosing CEREC
CEREC by Sirona Dental Systems is the world’s only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC at your dentist’s side, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer! For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care. So, why are thousands of people world wide choosing the CEREC restorative technique for their dental needs?
Single Appointment Dental Care
Most dental restorative methods require more than one visit to the los angeles cosmetic dentist. This means that on the first visit, you get an injection of anesthesia, your tooth prepared, an impression taken, and a temporary restoration put on your tooth. You make a second appointment for a couple of weeks later, get another injection, have the temporary pried off (if it hasn’t fallen off already), and have a permanent restoration put on. Why go to the dentist a second time when you don’t have to? With CEREC, the procedure is done in a single appointment, start to finish.
Finest Dental Materials
A CEREC tooth restoration isn’t just convenient, it is also healthy. Many years ago, los angeles cosmetic dentist had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals. With CEREC, your dentist can use strong, tooth colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function. These materials closely match the composition of natural tooth structure. This means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration and tooth expand and contract at almost equal rates. So, your tooth does not crack, and you can go on enjoying your evening. Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so your dentist can save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth.
Exam and Preparation
First, your los angeles cosmetic dentist examines the tooth and determines the appropriate treatment. It could be a simple filling, or a full crown, depending on how much healthy tooth structure is remaining and the clinical judgment of your Dentist. Next, he or she administers an anesthetic and prepares your tooth for the restoration, removing decayed and weakened tooth tissue. This preparation is just like he or she would do for many other restorative techniques.
No Temporaries
Next, the CEREC machine helps the Dentist create the restoration for your tooth. The CEREC 3D software takes the digital picture and converts it into a 3-dimensional virtual model on the computer screen. Your Dentist then uses his or her dental expertise to design the restoration using the CEREC 3D computer program. Within a few minutes, your Dentist clicks a button, and the restoration design data is sent to a separate milling machine in the office. A ceramic block that matches your tooth shade is placed in the milling machine. About 10 – 20 minutes later, your all-ceramic, tooth-colored restoration is finished and ready to bond in place. Finally, your Dentist tries the restoration in your mouth to ensure proper fit and bite. The restoration is then polished and bonded to the prepared tooth. Your tooth is restored with no “temporary” or return trip necessary. All of this is done in a single appointment! Ask your Dentist about CEREC today.

I was looking for a new dental office since I moved. My first visit went great! I came for a regular check up. The staff were very welcoming. Dr. Mike and his assistants were very thorough and explained everything throughout my visit. I really liked that they took before and after pictures of my teeth. It really showed the quality work they do. I also appreciated the welcome packet that included the photos of my teeth, background on the practice and owners, and recommendations for other procedures and services they provide. They accepted my insurance with no out of pocket cost. The team seems very caring and thorough. I certainly will be back in 6 months for a cleaning and highly recommend this dental practice to others!read moreread less
- Shirley Grigsby2/08/2024Dr. Mike is awesome and the entire staff is professional and terrific. I was recently diagnosed with AFib and had anxiety about my first dental appointment post my diagnosis. Dr. Mike listened to my possible bleeding concerns and assured me that I was in good hands and I was. My routine 4-month cleaning was flawless and I was extremely relieved that there was basically no bleeding at all to be concerned about!! Next week I have an appointment for a crown for my lower left front molar and I am anticipating that the entire procedure will be flawless too!! Thank you Dr. Mike and staff for making my visit anxiety free!!read moreread less

I’m always warmly greeted and they ask about my daughter and how I’m doing. The receptionists are always exceptionally nice and attentive. I’ve always felt well taken care of.read moreread less
