CEREC Same-Day Restorations- Lafayette, CA
Fix Damaged Or Missing Teeth
With Cerec® Same-Day Restorations
CEREC Provides A Convenient, Fast Solution
In the past, a chipped or missing tooth required multiple office visits to receive a crown or bridge. The multi-step process involved messy impressions, uncomfortable temporaries, and a chance patients would receive a flawed or inaccurate restoration. Crowns milled in an off-site lab meant long wait times for those already suffering from aesthetic issues, difficulty chewing, and increased tooth sensitivity. Dr. Andrew Ferrier specializes in prosthodontics (restoration and replacement of damaged or missing teeth), and is experienced in a wide range of dental and cosmetic dentistry. He does not play any guessing games when it comes to your teeth. With the aid of advanced digital technology like CEREC®, he can skillfully design and mill a perfectly fitted restoration for you in just one office visit.

How Much Do Crowns and Bridges Cost
CEREC same-day restorations offer patients who have decayed, broken, or missing teeth a fast, effective, and long-term solution. The advanced technology removes the need for messy impressions, improves comfort with a precise crown fit, and provides you with an option that is both high-quality and saves you time. CEREC comes with a steep learning curve, and many doctors lack the necessary skills needed to craft high-quality crowns, bridges, or veneers with this technology. Dr. Ferrier has dedicated many hours of hands-on training to CEREC technology and has used this expertise to help hundreds of patients brighten their smiles with highly customized same-day restorations.
“The CEREC unit is a piece of technology that allows us after we have scanned the tooth to send that information to our computer, which there we can design our crown.”
