Same-Day Solutions with
CEREC
Restorative dentistry can typically take multiple visits to the dentist due to taking impressions and sending them off to a lab to create the ceramic restoration like a crown or bridge. With CEREC, dental work can be created and placed in a single appointment.
CEREC takes the stress out of multiple visits and you can say goodbye to temporary solutions with this innovative technology. Let us be your one-stop visit for restorative dentistry. We’re proud to offer convenient smile solutions for you and your family.
What Is
CEREC?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic. It’s a method of creating ceramic dental restorations, such as a crown, in our office.
Using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), dental restorations can be made from impressions of your teeth on the same day.
CEREC can be used to create:
The CEREC Process
Your dentist will examine your teeth and talk about your dental plans to determine if CEREC is the right option to help restore your teeth and smile. If we determine CEREC is right for your needs, we’ll go through the following steps:
- We’ll start by preparing the tooth for restoration. This will often require numbing to the area.
- Next, we’ll take a scan or impression of your mouth.
- The impressions are sent through the specialized computer software to create your custom restoration ceramic.
- Once completed, we’ll place the restoration in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments before bonding it to your teeth.

Testimonials
Dr. Beck is FANTASTIC! I had jaw pain for years and always thought it was more neck and just slight TMJ. She was recommended to me by another doctor and I knew she would help the first time I went in. Finally someone who asked all the right questions and knew and understood exactly what I was feeling. I’m not done yet but I feel so much better. Dr. Beck has great bedside manner and the staff is nice as well!
Rachel Nunez
The place is sparkling clean and very modern. The receptionists are all highly professional, cheerful and friendly. Dr Beck is AMAZING! She’ll explain anything and everything to you patiently and she really knows her stuff! She has a warm and inviting affect and makes you feel like you’re in the best of hands.
Andromache Agramonte
Dr Beck’s compassion and expertise literally saved my life. I had blinding headaches felt lightheaded most of the day and focusing and making decisions were nearly impossible. Dr Beck’s listening skills and non-judgemental approach as she examined me was the start of my healing. What I discovered was with exercise and wearing a mouthguard and the loving care from Dr Beck the headaches went away. I am forever grateful to Dr Beck.
