CEREC


CEREC technology allows us to create strong, customized, tooth-colored ceramic restorations right here at the office, usually within a single appointment. No temporary or second visit is required and the aesthetics are beautiful.
Ken is our Cerec technician, he and Dr. Tate work side by side in designing your Cerec restoration.
In the course of one visit, we can diagnose and prepare your damaged tooth, create an optical impression of the tooth, and use CEREC to design and mill a precision restoration, which is then permanently bonded to your tooth. No mess, no discomfort, no wait.

  • CEREC is proven technology, with two decades of clinical research and documentation
  • Aesthetics and convenience converge to offer an eye-pleasing and quickly obtained solution to damaged teeth in a single visit
  • Ceramic restorations are metal free, biocompatible, anti-abrasive and plaque resistant
  • Using CEREC and advanced-bonding techniques, we are able to restore your teeth to their original strength and function


Crowns

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength or improve its appearance. A crown may be needed to protect a weakened tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.



Inlays

Inlays can be used instead of traditional amalgam (Mercury) or composite fillings to create a smooth, tooth-colored replacement of tooth material lost to cavities.



Onlays

Onlays take the place of extensive amalgam (Mercury) or composite fillings to create a smooth, tooth-colored replacement of tooth material lost to cavities. Onlays are more extensive than inlays, covering one or more of the cusps (bumps) on the chewing surface of the tooth.



Veneers
Procedure:
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells adhered onto the surfaces of prepared teeth in much the same way that false fingernails are applied. Veneers correct or camouflage sever discoloration, damage, misalignment, or teeth that are poorly shaped.

Visits:
One, to prepare the teeth, make an impression and to apply and finish the veneer.

Durability:
Veneers are much more durable and last considerably longer than bonding.
