Dr. Stinchfield, Washougal's CEREC® Provider

CEREC is a technology for restoring damaged teeth, and this restoration can be completed in a single visit to Discovery Dental. The restoration is metal-free and the high-grade ceramic material is compatible with the natural tissue found in your mouth. It makes your teeth stronger and more beautiful — all while keeping your teeth looking natural. Above is an example of the before and after pictures of a porcelain fused to metal crown, which was replaced by a CEREC crown in a little over an hour. What fantastic results! This is the finest restorative material available today, all in one appointment.

The CEREC Process

First, Dr. Stinchfield will meet with you to discuss the details of the procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Stinchfield will apply a thin layer of reflective powder onto your tooth and will use a special camera to take a photo of your tooth. Using Computer Aided Design, the photo serves as an optimal impression. The restoration will then be designed by the computer on this impression. Then CEREC will use a diamond bur and disk to create your restoration piece out of a high tech ceramic. Finally, the ceramic restoration is bonded to your tooth using state-of-the-art adhesive dentistry.

Discovery Dental is your local CEREC dentist for single-visit tooth restorations. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Stinchfield asks: What’s on your summer reading list?

With summer in full swing here in Washougal, WA , some of us at Discovery Dental wanted to remind all our patients about the importance of reading. Sure it’s easy to keep putting off reading this time of year, but reading during the summer is a vital step in brain development and warding off the dreaded “summer slide.” Plus, it's fun!

Today, we thought we’d ask: What's on YOUR summer reading list? What are some of your all-time favorites? Out of ideas for great summer reads? Ask us for suggestions, and Dr. Stinchfield and our staff would be happy to provide a few suggestions. You may also ask a local librarian for some ideas or check out these summer reading ideas that we came across today, courtesy of Barnes & Noble.

Happy reading! Be sure to share with us your summer picks or your all-time favorites on our Facebook page!
