CEREC 3D
CEREC 3D
is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. Translated, it means that Dr.Bien can economically restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of the other teeth. CEREC 3D uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology. >

IMPLANTS
A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a tooth or group of teeth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. 

Because a dental implant will replace your tooth root, the bone is better preserved.  Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.

In the long term, an implant can be more esthetic and easier to keep clean than a bridge. Gums can recede around a bridge, leaving a visible defect when the metal base or collar of the bridge becomes exposed. Resorbed bone beneath the bridge can lead to an unattractive smile.The cement holding the bridge in place can wash out, allowing bacteria to decay the teeth.
