Single Appointment Dental Care

In the past, when you needed a crown, inlay, onlay or veneer it required more than one visit to the dentist. In today’s dentistry, with CEREC, there are no impressions taken and no temporary restorations put on your teeth. You get your permanent crown or restoration in one appointment. There is no need to return for a second appointment. Why go to the dentist a second time when you don't have to? With CEREC and Dr Sakos at Westlake Hills Cosmetic Dentistry in Austin, Texas, the procedure is done in a single appointment, start to finish.

Finest Dental Materials

Materials used to make crowns have progressed tremendously. Many years ago, dentists had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals. Traditionally, the strongest material was gold. It was very unaesthetic though. Nobody likes the looks of a gold tooth. Today's crowns are tooth colored with no metal in them. They look just like your surrounding teeth. With CEREC, Dr Sakos can use strong, tooth colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function. These materials closely match the composition and strength of natural tooth structure. Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so Dr Sakos does not have to remove as much tooth as was necessary previously to do these restorations. Dr Sakos can save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth.

Do you have an ugly front tooth?

Some people have one front tooth that doesn't look good. It may have a big discolored filling or an old crown with a black line, or just a crown that is the wrong color. With CEREC®, Dr Sakos can make a veneer or crown to replace that filling or crown. He custom colors the CEREC® restoration to match the natural teeth next to it so it is blends in with your surrounding natural teeth.
