CEREC® Dentist

At Gables Exceptional Dentistry, we are a CEREC dentist that specializes in creating beautiful smiles in one visit. By using the latest in dental technology, we can make your smile bright and beautiful — a smile you will be proud to show off.

If you live in the Coral Gables, FL area, we invite you to call our office to discuss anything you do not like about the appearance of your smile or any oral health concerns you have. We can correct both at our dental office.

As a local dentist, we understand how uncomfortable it can be to smile when your teeth have unsightly gaps or dark stains or appear uneven. When you visit our cosmetic dentistry office, we can discuss any issues you have with your smile and create a plan for how to address them.

What makes our Coral Gables dental office different is that we use CEREC technology to improve your smile in one visit. With CEREC restorations, even the busiest patient has time to improve their smile.

CEREC® Provides Dental Restorations and Cosmetic Solutions in One Day

CEREC is the modern solution to your dental care needs. At Gables Exceptional Dentistry, we use CEREC to provide patients with better dental treatments in one day.

The traditional process for dental restorations to treat damaged, stained, crooked, or overcrowded teeth involves taking an impression of the tooth. Upon completing measurements, the dentist sends the results to a lab to create the restoration. In the meantime, the patient may spend up to two weeks with a temporary restoration while the lab creates the new one. After the final restoration is complete, the patient returns for the bonding procedure and to verify that the restoration is a good fit.

The two biggest challenges with this scenario come down to time and convenience. The traditional process takes too much time and is inconvenient, requiring multiple dental appointments and a temporary solution.

As a CEREC dentist, we complete restorations differently. If you are seeking to improve the appearance of your teeth by straightening them, covering a dark stain, closing gaps, or changing their size, we can do all of this in one day. The same is true if you have a damaged tooth in need of repair. We offer a one-day treatment that eliminates the need for a temporary restoration: CEREC.

If you need a dental restoration, have a dental emergency, or simply want to improve how your teeth look, visit our Coral Gables dental office for an immediate solution.

How CEREC® Technology Works

We can use the CEREC system to create crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays while you wait. At Gables Exceptional Dentistry, we take digital images of the tooth and mouth and immediately upload them into the software. Using CAD/CAM technology, we create a computerized image of the tooth along with the exact dimensions and a blueprint for what the new restoration will look like. The software processes the information quickly before making comprehensive recommendations for the restoration, accounting for every detail.

We then send the instructions and specifications to our milling machine, which will effectively print the restoration in our office. You no longer need to wear a temporary restoration and return for a permanent one at a later date. Since our software is so accurate, we rarely need to make adjustments once the restoration is in place. We can complete all necessary steps in one appointment.

Beyond being convenient, CEREC restorations are just as stunning as those using the traditional method. You will get the results you are looking for as fast as possible so you can begin to enjoy your smile again. To learn more, we invite you to call (305) 614-2438.
