The exceptional dental technology available at Artistic Dentistry helps you achieve a beautiful smile
Ceramic Reconstruction (CEREC)
​Dr. Roussel offers his patients some of the most advanced equipment and techniques available in modern dentistry, like CEREC. This is a revolutionary CAD/CAM technology that allows him to create ceramic crowns and veneers in a single appointment without the need for impressions or temporaries.

​​​His intra-oral camera produces high-resolution images of your teeth and gums for a more thorough evaluation and to guide him on the most appropriate treatment.

With the help of digital X-ray technology, he can pinpoint potential problems on a computer screen that you view in real-time without having to leave your chair. Because your safety is always of primary concern, Dr. Roussel uses sterilization procedures that meet or exceed OSHA guidelines. 
​
The CEREC process provides more strength than traditional crowns and incredibly natural-looking results. In addition, if you have an emergency situation involving a broken tooth, he can provide crowns in one visit.
