CEREC Information
Why patients are choosing CEREC
CEREC by Sirona Dental Systems is the world’s only system for the fabrication of all ceramic dental restorations in one office visit. With CEREC at your dentist’s side, you can be in and out in a single visit with a permanent, all ceramic crown, onlay, or veneer! For you, the patient, this means fewer injections, less drilling, and less time out of your hectic schedule for dental care. So, why are thousands of people world wide choosing the CEREC restorative technique for their dental needs?
Single Appointment Dental Care
Most dental restorative methods require more than one visit to the los angeles cosmetic dentist. This means that on the first visit, you get an injection of anesthesia, your tooth prepared, an impression taken, and a temporary restoration put on your tooth. You make a second appointment for a couple of weeks later, get another injection, have the temporary pried off (if it hasn’t fallen off already), and have a permanent restoration put on. Why go to the dentist a second time when you don’t have to? With CEREC, the procedure is done in a single appointment, start to finish.
Finest Dental Materials
A CEREC tooth restoration isn’t just convenient, it is also healthy. Many years ago, los angeles cosmetic dentist had few options to repair decayed and damaged teeth other than amalgam, gold, and other metals. With CEREC, your dentist can use strong, tooth colored ceramic materials to restore your teeth to their natural strength, beauty, and function. These materials closely match the composition of natural tooth structure. This means when you eat hot food and then drink something cold, the restoration and tooth expand and contract at almost equal rates. So, your tooth does not crack, and you can go on enjoying your evening. Also, the materials are chemically bonded to your tooth, so your dentist can save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible while providing you with a dental restoration that strengthens your tooth.
Exam and Preparation
First, your los angeles cosmetic dentist examines the tooth and determines the appropriate treatment. It could be a simple filling, or a full crown, depending on how much healthy tooth structure is remaining and the clinical judgment of your Dentist. Next, he or she administers an anesthetic and prepares your tooth for the restoration, removing decayed and weakened tooth tissue. This preparation is just like he or she would do for many other restorative techniques.
No Temporaries
Next, the CEREC machine helps the Dentist create the restoration for your tooth. The CEREC 3D software takes the digital picture and converts it into a 3-dimensional virtual model on the computer screen. Your Dentist then uses his or her dental expertise to design the restoration using the CEREC 3D computer program. Within a few minutes, your Dentist clicks a button, and the restoration design data is sent to a separate milling machine in the office. A ceramic block that matches your tooth shade is placed in the milling machine. About 10 – 20 minutes later, your all-ceramic, tooth-colored restoration is finished and ready to bond in place. Finally, your Dentist tries the restoration in your mouth to ensure proper fit and bite. The restoration is then polished and bonded to the prepared tooth. Your tooth is restored with no “temporary” or return trip necessary. All of this is done in a single appointment! Ask your Dentist about CEREC today.

- Cris DB3/28/2025The first time I went to Kezian Dentistry it was for an emergency. I got an appointment the same day I called. I was so happy about the visit that I decided to entrust my dental needs to the Kezian doctors. They are outstanding and the staff is absolutely great. I felt comfortable and in very good hands. I highly recommend Kezian Dentistry. I went there very recently for a check up. I had a tooth decay. Dr Steven helped me right away even though his schedule was very busy. Thanks!read moreread less
- Laura3/24/2025I found this place randomly after breaking a molar on a cocoa nib (stay away from those things!) They were able to make an emergency appointment to see me the next day. Dr. Steven Kezian sorted my tooth out with a conservative and cosmetically pleasing approach that I appreciate a lot. I’m uninsured but he was able to bring the price down a little bit to something totally reasonable. He also has a really friendly and caring bedside manner. Even though my appointment was made last minute I didn’t feel my treatment was rushed at all and he took the time to explain every step to me. All in all, even though my dental accident was unfortunate I’m glad it led me to this practice which I will continue to go to for any of my dental needs!read moreread lessBrittany Beane3/24/2025Let’s start with the family practice vibes. Ten out of ten for inviting and warm atmosphere. Not only that, but my original appointment was scheduled with one of their offices at another location (which isn’t open on Saturdays), but I called them and said I actually needed to come in sooner given my level of pain and they got me in on a Saturday at their sister office. Since they’re a family operation, the offices work together to meet your scheduling needs! My experience: Dr. Kezian fixed my broken crown (gave me a great temporary while we wait for the permanent crown to be made) and gave me a filling on another tooth all within an hour and a half. He was thorough, efficient, and communicative throughout the process. He’s also very responsive to how comfortable or uncomfortable you are during the “drilling” portions of the process! Did I mention this was my FIRST VISIT EVER with him? I have been to many dentists over the years and can already tell the quality of his work will prevent me from going back again and again for the same problem, so I’m actually excited to go back and have the permanent crown put in - and who gets excited about dental work!? Highly recommend the Kezian practice to anyone looking for a great dentist!read moreread less
- Emi Curtmola3/23/2025I recently visited Dr. Kezian's Office for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The office was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. Dr. Tashjian was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I felt at ease throughout my visit. The entire team was professional, friendly, and attentive to my needs. It’s not often that you actually enjoy a trip to the dentist, but Dr Tashjian made the experience pleasant and stress-free. I’m so glad I found them and will definitely be returning for all my dental care needs. Highly recommend!read moreread lessBriana Lee3/23/2025I’ve been a long time patient of Dr. Kezian’s dental clinic in Larchmont, Los Angeles. The first time I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The clinic itself is clean, modern, and comfortable, making each visit a pleasant experience. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain every procedure, which gave me a lot of confidence in my treatments. I’ve gotten numerous cleanings done, x-rays, fillings, and a custom night guard. You can really feel the personal touch in every aspect of care – from the detailed consultations to the follow-up calls to make sure you're doing well. This is the best dental clinic I’ve been to in California.read moreread less
- Carlos Sanchez Hernandez3/16/2025I feel like a celebrity when I walk in because of the attention of Dr Steven and his staff. They are literally the best. They have the softest touch. They go the extra mile to not only walk you through what’s going on but also show you before and after. I love the attention to detail. I LOVE THIS DENTISTRY. The fact that is family owned is the cherry on top.read moreread less
- Saskia Wilson-Brown3/08/2025Yesterday, Dr. K performed an extremely complicated wisdom tooth extraction in 15 minutes, tops. I was freaked out of my gourd for weeks anticipating the procedure, but he made it feel like no big deal. I remain, as I always have been, very very impressed with Dr. K's mastery. He's the Da Vinci of teeth! The folks at this office are very good at what they do. They've saved teeth that other dentists have told me were unsavable. They've expertly managed and replaced my two veneers. I found myself, a few years ago, actually looking forward to a root canal: I knew that in their hands, it would be easy. Dr. K., Dr. Mike, Dr. Steve, the wonderful Dr. Narine, and the entire team is just fantastic, and this is why they've been my entire family's dentists for more than two decades.read moreread less
- James Alford2/22/2025Drs. Arthur and Michael Kazian are exceptional at their craft, professional, courteous, amiable and caring towards my first recommended visit I pay it forward by encouraging anyone in need or in search of a qualified dentist to do the same; the staff was equally friendly, polite, professional and caring. I was totally at ease in their care and will absolutely follow through with their next recommended appointment and suggest that anyone reading this follows suit by doing the same.read moreread less
- Joshua Corey2/22/2025Dr. Tashjin has always been so good to me, I’m so lucky to have found this dentist. They’re always good about giving me lots of novocaine when I ask (I’m a baby) and working with me on cost/insurance so I can afford the work I need. They’ve always patiently fixed a chipped tooth of mine a couple times, on short notice. Can’t recommend enough.read moreread less
