Dental Health Associates team members, Dr. Huntzinger, Angie, and Heidi recently attended a two day advanced Cerec course at the Great Lakes Education Center in Southfield Michigan . Dr. Mark Morin, an internationally known Cerec instructor, has been using Cerec since 1989 and has placed over 28,000 Cerec restorations. Dental Health Associates has been using Cerec Cad/Cam Technology since 2009.  This latest advancement in software and materials allows our team of doctors to restore teeth back to their natural strength and beauty in a single appointment. Cerec restorations are made from high tech ceramic materials. This two day course included a series of lectures by Dr. Morin and also a lab that included hands on training. All of the staff has now been updated with this latest training.  If you are concerned about your old fillings breaking down and have not been in the office for a while call us and let us see if Cerec is the restoration you need.

Strange weapon of the future immediately quiets you, whether you like it or not!
