Traditionally, dental restorations required a preparation and placement appointment. This time-tested system is still remarkably effective, but for those patients who want to save time in the dental chair, we may recommend CEREC® same-day dentistry. Using state-of-the-art CEREC® technology, our team is able to prepare teeth, design a restoration, mill the custom crown in our office, and place the finished product all in one day! No temporary placement and removal. No need to schedule numerous visits. No hassle.
Our office utilizes the latest in cutting-edge dental technology. Comfortable anesthesia with the Wand, our soft-tissue laser treats periodontal disease, re-contours the gums, and CEREC® allows all-digital scanning and same-day custom dental crowns. We even have TVs in every operatory, positioned for patient's viewing during treatment.
We are proudly in-network with nearly every PPO provider and look forward to helping you maximize your benefits. And for those without insurance or with high out-of-pocket expenses, our office is happy to offer affordable financing options to fit your monthly budget.
Dr. Kern and our team don’t just work in the Grafton community—we live here. That is why we are dedicated to supporting our community schools, churches, adult transition programs, donated dental services, and other area charitable organizations.
