“What is CEREC®, and how it can help me?”

CEREC is a state-of-the-art treatment that allows Dr. Jerome R. Baruffi and Dr. Austin Baruffi to restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic restorations in just a single visit at Southcenter Dental. This procedure saves our patients valuable time out of their lives, as well as the inconvenience of having to come back for a follow-up visit.

CEREC, which utilizes the most advanced computer technology available in dentistry today, uses precise digital imaging to take impressions, making your one-visit procedure more precise, faster, and less messy.

By using three-dimensional imagery, Dr. Jerome R. Baruffi and Dr. Austin Baruffi virtually design the crown with very accurate measurements. Once the crown is designed, we use a specially-designed machine here in the office to mill the new crown from a solid block of ceramic. Once the machine is finished making the crown, Dr. Jerome R. Baruffi and Dr. Austin Baruffi will again check the fit for accuracy before cementing it into place.

Who wants to visit the dentist more than they have to? With CEREC’s technology, you can get back to enjoying your life with just one visit. To learn more about CEREC technology or to schedule an appointment at our convenient Tukwila, WA office, we invite you to give us a call today! We look forward to working with you!
