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.
