CEREC®

Dr. Marxen and Dr. Yang are your local CEREC® dentists for single-visit tooth restorations.

What is CEREC?

CEREC is a technology for restoring damaged teeth, and this restoration can be completed in a single visit to the doctor's office. It makes your teeth stronger and more beautiful while keeping your teeth looking natural. The restoration is metal-free and the high-grade ceramic material is compatible with the natural tissue found in your mouth. At Advanced Care Dentistry, we use the revolutionary E-Max material. It is three times stronger than the traditional all-ceramic crown or the metal ceramic crown.

The CEREC Process

After you and your doctor have determined that a CEREC crown is right for you, your doctor will apply a thin layer of reflective powder onto your tooth. A special camera will then be used to take a photo of your tooth. Using Computer Aided Design (CAD), the photo serves as a "map" to design your tooth's restoration. A piece of ceramic that matches your tooth shade will be selected, and our CEREC machine will use a diamond bur and disk-work to create your crown. Additional hand painting may be done to create a custom match to your existing teeth. Your crown will then be bonded to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.
