Few recent developments have had such an impact on the advancement of restorative dentistry as the CEREC (CERamic REConstruction) chair-side computer-aided restorative system.
Consisting of an infrared camera, a computer imaging system, and an in-office milling unit, CEREC enables us to create perfect-fitting, aesthetically pleasing ceramic restorations in a single office visit - something that once required at least two visits, a temporary crown, and a wait of several weeks.
Not only is CEREC technology convenient, it's also healthy. Unlike metal restorative materials of the past, the ceramic compound used with CEREC closely resembles the composition of your natural teeth. The result is stronger, healthier teeth.
While CEREC technology has gained widespread acclaim, relatively few dentists have the resources or proper training to use it. Today, we're still one of only a handful of practices in the Olympia area to have it.
