Dr. Winkler is proud to be one of the few dentists in the North County area who has brought the latest technology to his patients.

Cerec Tooth Restorations
The system is a German manufactured CAD/CAM system called Cerec 3. This system allows Dr. Winkler to control the delicate process of creating the perfect tooth and restoration and replaces the need to wait two to three weeks or longer for an outside lab to make a crown, onlay, inlay, or vaneer. With the Cerec 3, Dr. Winkler can fabricate restorations in one visit while the patient is waiting.

Cerec restorations are made from ceramic -- a natural substance that is particularly compatible with the body. The cerec ceramic has the same characteristics as normal, healthy teeth. The cerec tooth is not sensitive to hot or cold coffee or ice-cream. Furthermore, the ceramic is so smooth that bacteria do not adhere to it. There is no metallic taste as no metals are used, thus eliminating the unsightly metal ring at the base of the tooth and any metal allergies.
