CEREC- MEANS ONE VISIT BEAUTY AND STRENGTH FOR FRONT AND BACK TEETH!

CEREC simply means less drilling on your tooth, less time in the chair, and fewer appointments. Dr. Levey is one of less than 2% of US dentists who has been trained and using CEREC technology since 2001. CEREC is the world's only system for long lasting, all ceramic crowns, onlays and veneers created in ONE VISIT; which also means fewer injections, often less drilling (therefore saving more of your natural tooth) and less time out of your schedule than old-fashioned techniques.

Used for front and back teeth, CEREC [CAD-CAM] Technology can be utilized to repair cracked, broken, or chipped teeth, and worn or unsightly teeth in just one office visit!

Thanks to the state-of-the-art CEREC (CAD-CAM) equipment in our office, Dr. Levey creates long lasting, natural-looking ceramic crowns and onlays that will make even broken teeth look like new, in just one visit! Cerec is the perfect solution for cracked, chipped, worn or misshapen teeth and also to restore any tooth that is decayed, weakened or broken, back to its natural strength and beauty.

No temporary crowns! No second visit required!

Procedure

Dr. Levey will examine your mouth and determine the appropriate treatment. It could be a simple filling, or a full crown, depending on how much healthy tooth structure is remaining and his clinical judgment. Next, he will administer an anesthetic and prepare your tooth for restoration, removing decayed and weakened tooth tissue, without disturbing the healthy tissue. This strategy is called minimally invasive dentistry.

Next, the Dr. Levey takes an Optical Impression of the prepared tooth (just like taking a digital photo). No need for messy, gagging, gel impression trays in your mouth. The optical image takes just a few moments to capture.

Dr. Levey then uses his expertise to design your restoration using the CEREC 3D computer program while you watch. About 10 - 15 minutes later your all-ceramic, tooth-colored restoration is finished and ready to bond in place. Dr. Levey tests the restoration in your mouth to ensure proper fit and bite. The porcelain is then polished and bonded to your tooth. Your tooth is restored with no "temporary" or return trip necessary.  All of this is done in a single appointment!

Results

Note how we were able to restore our patients cracked single front tooth in just one visit! This means she did not need to wear a temporary crown for several weeks or have to return to the office for a second visit or get numb for a second time.

Before- Note chip of single front tooth left of center; After-Immediately after bonded new porcelain crown

This is what we all want: Teeth that look good, feel good, and last a long time. Why not get them in fewer visits as well??

'A great experience as usual. I was in a lot of pain and the entire staff was very compassionate-thanks."
