CEREC®

Dr. Carol is your local CEREC® dentist for superior, precisely designed and aesthetically pleasing single-visit tooth restorations.

What is CEREC?

CEREC is a revolutionary way for restoring damaged teeth, and this restoration can be completed in a single visit to Dr. Carol's office. The color matched and highly durable ceramic restoration makes your teeth stronger and more beautiful — all while keeping your teeth looking completely natural. The restoration is metal-free and the high-grade ceramic material is compatible with the natural tissue found in your mouth.

The CEREC Process

First, Dr. Carol will meet with you to discuss the details of the procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Carol will apply a thin layer of reflective powder onto your tooth and will use a special camera to take a photo of the tooth being restored. Using Computer Aided Design, the photo serves as a "map" to design your tooth's restoration. Then, the milling unit will use diamond burs to mill your restoration out of porcelain ceramic. Finally, the ceramic restoration is bonded to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.
