CEREC crowns – same-day solutions for your busy life

With the hectic schedules we all keep, it can be difficult to carve out time for even one dental visit. When restorative work is required, just the thought of having to return for multiple appointments can cause stress and anxiety.

Dr. Kim Wachter, owner of Sedona Smiles in Sedona, Arizona, understands. Her commitment to patient care and convenience inspired her to equip her practice with a host of timesaving tools and techniques, including state-of-the-art CEREC technology. In fact, Sedona Smiles is the first in Sedona to offer this revolutionary treatment option.

Cerec dentistry is conservative and saves good tooth structure by only taking away what is broken, decayed or fractured. By not taking away too much tooth structure, the likelihood of needing a root canal later is reduced.

A new smile in about an hour

CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It allows Dr. Wachter to restore and repair damaged teeth in a single office visit – not three or four. With CEREC, there’s no need for a messy impression or awkward temporary and because your restoration is made completely of tooth-colored ceramic material with no unsightly metal, your finished result will be beautiful and completely natural-looking. Dr. Wachter can use CEREC to:

  • Replace old, deteriorated fillings or crowns.
  • Repair cracked teeth or broken teeth.
  • Eliminate sensitivity due to wear, decay or fracture.
  • Aesthetically enhance teeth.

Is the health and beauty of your smile worth a few hours of your time? Call Sedona Smiles today to learn how CEREC technology can quickly, comfortably and permanently transform your smile. Other time saving technologies include: Digital X-rays CBCT 3-D radiology Digital cosmetic imaging Air abrasion drill-free dentistry

Single-Visit Dental Implants

Forget what you think you know about dental implants. Thanks to advanced technology, today’s dental implants are strong, beautiful and completely natural-looking. Comfortable and cosmetically appealing, dental implants can help you regain a strong, healthy bite, without the inconvenience of bridges or dentures – often in as little as one or two office visits.

  • Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
  • Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
  • Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
  • Restore function and balance to your bite.
  • Give you a naturally beautiful smile.

Teeth Whitening

Dr. Kim Wachter has been involved in professional tooth whitening since the 80’s. We use only professionally supervised tooth whitening that is safe and effective. We can dramatically whiten and brighten dull discolored teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Dr. Wachter is highly skilled in the use of porcelain veneers that can beautify your smile by improving the color, shape and spacing of your teeth. Using same-day CEREC 3 technology, Dr. Wachter custom-designs veneers to close unwanted spaces, lengthen small or misshapen teeth, or whiten stained teeth. And if your teeth are chipped or beginning to look worn with age, veneers can restore their youthful appearance and protect them from further damage.

Dr. Wachter has worked closely with DaVinci laboratories for over 20 years, one of the finest cosmetic labs in the country and was the lab that was featured on Extreme Makeovers.

Dr. Wachter has been involved in cosmetic dentistry since 1981 and is currently accreditation eligible in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge in cosmetic dentistry and an artistic eye for making you look the absolute best!

Are you a candidate?
If you’ve lost one or more teeth due to accident or decay, you know how embarrassing it can be. Perhaps you hide your smile to cover unsightly gaps. Maybe you feel anxious because your dentures don’t feel secure. Or perhaps you have difficulty chewing and are unable to enjoy the foods you love. If you have missing teeth and want to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, schedule a consultation with Dr. Wachter today to see if dental implants are right for you. We can precisely measure the available bone with a CBCT analysis and tell you if you are a candidate for implants.

Visit our Patient Education Library to learn more about Dental Implants!

Call now for your personal appointment: 928-282-5964.

Mini-Implants For Denture Wearers

With new mini dental implant technology you can enjoy secure eating comfort again. In one short procedure you can have a stable denture with no surgical sutures, nor the typical months of healing. Ask Dr. Wachter if you are a candidate.

Partial Dentures

If you are missing only a few teeth scattered over either arch (upper or lower teeth), or even if you have a minimum of two teeth on both sides of the arch, then Dr. Wachter can quickly and easily replace the missing teeth with a removable partial denture.

Dr. Wachter is dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Sedona Smiles uses advanced laser-assisted periodontal technology to gently and quickly treat gum infections and disease and restore your mouth to optimal oral health. Benefits of laser-assisted periodontal therapy include:

  • Faster healing
  • Reduced risk of infection

Comforts & Conveniences

Comfort, convenience & customer service

At Sedona Smiles, your comfort is always first and foremost. We want to you're your experience a pleasant and comfortable experience. We appreciate and realize that many people have had less than pleasant dental experiences or memories. Dentistry is difficult for many people.

We keep this always in mind. For that reason, we offer personalized CD players with your choice of music, pillows and blankets and a painless pre-anesthetic and anesthetic technique. Other features that may make your experience more pleasurable include, bite cushions to help your jaw relax, sunglasses to reduce glare, lip balm and bottled water.

Nitrous oxide is available upon request. It is a gas that provides a light sedation that allows you to be conscious and capable of driving safely after treatment.

Dr. Kimberly Wachter …"As a woman dentist practicing for nearly thirty years, I have become very sensitive and aware of helping a patient have a painless experience. I will do everything to help make your experience a good one. Just ask my husband! He thought that as a kid he was being "chained" to the dental chair and has deeply embedded memories of going to the dentist as a child. He now knows that dental work can be comfortable".

What about Conscious Sedation?
 Conscious sedation is an altered state of consciousness, where you become disassociated with your surroundings. Anxiety levels and perception of pain are greatly reduced and you become relaxed and comfortable. Most people "think" they were asleep because they don't remember the dental appointment. This is generally done with a sedative medication.

…"feeling so self-conscious I never smiled. I looked down when I talked so others wouldn't see my teeth. My self image was very low. After years of bad experiences, I was scared to death. Some dentists would say, "it won't hurt a bit" and proceeed to hurt me as tears ran down my face, never once acknowledging that I was in extreme pain. I am so grateful to you that this is not the case when I come in for work on my teeth. I am not even sure what the main difference is, but one of the biggest is the fact that you care. You pay attention and respond to my flinching or signaling that I am in pain. That means the world to me. As for the incredible change you have made in my smile…well, I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've looked in the mirror and cried. These are tears of joy, of happiness, of disbelief. I am just in shock as to how fantastic my front teeth now look. A smile, for the first time in a lifetime…Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!"

LuAnn


…"My experience with Dr. Wachter has been great. When I first came to her I had not been to see a dentist in quite some time and had a lot of anxiety about going. She was very patient and made sure that I was comfortable with all of the procedures, yet she never gave me any false impressions about the importance of dental care. I recently had some cosmetic dentistry done and am extremely happy with the results! I am no longer "afraid" to go to the dentist…
