Visit a CEREC Dentist in Glendale

As a CEREC dentist in Glendale, we can transform your smile into one that is bright, beautiful and that you are proud to show off.  We understand how uncomfortable it can be to smile when you do not like your teeth because of unsightly gaps, dark stains, problems in the shape of teeth, etc.  When you visit our cosmetic dentist office, we can discuss all of the issues that you have with your smile and create a game plan for how to address it.  This is the standard approach that most cosmetic dentists will take.  What makes us different is that we use the CEREC technology to improve your smile and treat your teeth.

CEREC is the modern solution to common dental needs.  In order to understand how fantastic of a solution it is, you must first know what the traditional process of restoring or improving teeth looked like.  Traditionally, if a tooth was damaged, stained or in need of improving, an impression would be taken using a dental putty.  Measurements would also be taken and the two would be sent to the dental lab for a restoration to be completed.  This could include a dental veneer or dental crown.  In the meantime, the damaged tooth would be prepared by having a portion of the enamel removed and a temporary veneer or crown placed.  Patients would wear the temporary for a week or two and then come back in for the permanent one to be bonded in place.  The two main challenges with this scenario come down to time and convenience.  The traditional process takes too much time and is inconvenient due to the multiple dental appointments and need for a temporary solution.

However, as a CEREC dentist in Glendale, we do things differently.  If you want to improve the appearance of your teeth by straightening them, covering a dark stain, closing gaps, changing their size, etc., we can do all of that in one day.  The same is true for if you have a damaged tooth that needs to be repaired.  We offer one-day treatment without the need to wear a temporary solution.  This is made possible by CEREC technology.

As a CEREC dentist in Glendale, we take digital images of the tooth and mouth that are then uploaded into the software.  Using CAD/CAM technology, a computerized image of the tooth is created along with the exact dimensions and blueprint for what the new restoration should look like.  Every detail is accounted for by the software.  Next, our machine will print the restoration in our office while your tooth is being prepared.  This eliminates the need for you to wear a temporary solution and come back for a permanent one.  Everything is completed in one appointment for your convenience and the results are just as stunning as they would be using the traditional method.  This is why if you need a restoration or simply do not like your smile, you should visit our dental office.  You will experience the results you are looking for faster so that you can begin to enjoy your smile again.
