The CEREC restoration will begin with an appointment where Dr. Barry will create your personal treatment program. The procedure will require an electronic scan of your teeth. The scan will allow Dr. Barry to manufacture your restoration. From that point, your restoration will be placed into the CEREC system to be made. The amount of time required to make your restoration will be based on its dimensions. When the restoration is ready, Dr. Barry can complete and polish the item before putting it in position. He will then modify the restoration so it's fitting properly and matches with your natural enamel.

Once your CEREC restoration is created, it's essential to keep a great home dental hygiene regimen.

At every appointment, Dr. Barry will assess your CEREC restoration and perform any needed repairs or alterations that will help keep your teeth healthy. If cared for correctly, CEREC restorations can remain in place for several years.

Restorations are usually partially paid by insurance. We'll get in touch with your insurer to confirm your benefits and your out-of-pocket expenses. If you do not have insurance, then Dr. Barry will tell you about payment methods we take, such as medical financing.
