Oak Tree Dental Adds New CEREC System

Oak Tree Dental Sebastopol Adds a New CEREC System

Using CEREC for Better Dental Care

Oak Tree Dental is excited to announce that we’ve added a new advancement in dental technology to our office, with the arrival of our CEREC system.

CEREC is a computer-aided imaging and milling system that allows us to create dental restorations like crowns and veneers from high-end ceramic materials, right in our office. It uses CAD/CAM (computer-assisted design and manufacturing) technology to take impressions quickly, and to create perfectly-fitted crowns, fillings and other dental restorations.

That means we can now offer an alternative to previously lengthy treatments, as patients often had to wait for such restorations to be created in an off-site laboratory and sent back to the dentist’s office. Procedures that formerly took two or more appointments, often with temporary restorations in between, now can be done quickly in one appointment right in our office. 

Advanced Imaging and Restorations

CEREC also enables us to easily and precisely scan patients’ teeth with digital imaging technology, rather than the traditional dental impression process using molds and putty to take physical impressions of teeth. This improves the accuracy of the images and gives us an adaptable, real-time scan of your mouth, teeth and gums that we can examine in 3D. 

When it comes to the machining part of the CEREC system, we find advantages for our patients too. CEREC uses solid blocks of ceramic to create dental restorations, instead of traditional pressed ceramic and metal. This means crowns and replacement teeth made with CEREC have longer lives and are tougher and more durable. Plus, the shade of the ceramic can be customized to match the exact shade needed for your teeth, so your dental work will be unnoticeable in appearance. 

Oak Tree Dental is committed to investing in dental technology that makes treating our patients easier and more effective, and the CEREC system helps us with treatments for many dental conditions. Patients who opt for CEREC-assisted procedures can look forward to shorter wait times, the ability to access in-depth images of their teeth, more accurate diagnostics, and an easier path to dental crowns, veneers and implants, among other treatments.

All-Around Excellent! I just started with Oak Tree Dental 6 months ago and I've already completed a daunting treatment plan including four replacement crowns and five fillings! The staff there is kind and responsive, and they seem dedicated to their work. Dr. Grados is a nice guy and a very experienced dentist. He does excellent work. OTD can get a lot of work done at each appointment, and they have always been ready to address concerns that come up. They are great if you don't have dental insurance because they have a plan just for that. I ended up paying less than I would have with my old dentist, with much better care in less time. Thank you Oak Tree Dental!

Carla was great! Staff is friendly. My only suggestion is to start earlier if you have a staff meeting first thing in the morning so you are ready to accept patients at their appointed time.

I was a patient at the sebastopol dental office prior to Dr. Grados purchasing the practice. It’s hard forMe to make changes but after my first visit with Dr. Grados I was happy to move forward with him as my new dentist. Without reservation, I am very pleased with his work, how the office is managed, and his personal attention and sensitivity to health and financial needs. I can highly recommend Dr Grados and his office staff for their knowledge expertise and professional services.

Some old fillings (50 years or so) are deteriorating. So rather than wait for a broken tooth, today I got a crown. I really appreciate the modern technology that completes the process in one visit! Friendly staff answers all my questions. I will return for all my future dental care!

Fine time at the dentist today. As always Oak Tree Dental is friendly and efficient. Went in for a crown which led to the discovery that a root canal was needed. Oak Tree arranged for the root canal ... SAME Day. Fantastic. Now complete. Thanks!

When looking for a new dentist in Sonoma County, Dr. Grados and his team at Oak Tree Dental came highly recommended, and now I know why! I started with Monique at the front desk, who is so sweet and kind and immediately made me feel more confident in my decision in choosing them. When my first appointment came around, Dr. Grados was very welcoming. First exams with a dentist can always be a bit nerve racking, but Dr. Grados made lighthearted conversation, was efficient and gentle the whole time. Connie, who has been a hygienist for well over 20 years, also has a real talent for making me feel relaxed while cleaning my teeth. Everyone at Oak Tree Dental is judgement free, caring and very knowledgeable. They make going to the dentist easy.

I've been a patient at Oak Tree Dental since it opened, and always appreciated their services. But recently, when I suffered a dental emergency, the response by Dr. Grados and team went above and beyond. I called in the morning and was in the dentist's chair by noon. They offered me an option for resolution that was quick and affordable - and fixed the problem! I am so grateful.

If you haven't been to a dentist in awhile and are dreading a repeat of past tortures then rejoice! I broke a tooth and finally had to pull up my big girl pants and face "the chair". MIRACLE! First, these folks are so pleasant, so friendly, and so not scary. I met Bob in the waiting room who has been coming to them (and their predecessor) for 40 years!Second, no horrible, mouth shredding bite-wing X rays! OTDS has embraced modern technology. The Xrays are painless and instantaneously show up on a screen right there in the office where you and the dentist can see them. They also have a camera to take photos in your mouth which you can also see. Now, for my particular case, I needed to have the remaining ancient filling removed and a crown installed. Such a different experience! They use lasers now to remove the dead material and only a tiny bit of slow-speed (less noise) drilling for the stubborn bits. A little Novocain and it's ready to rebuild. Now. the last time I had a crown done they sent you home with a "temporary" thing that often fell off before the "permanent" one was done (somewhere in LA) which sometimes took weeks! NEW TECH: he used a laser scanner to "map" the upper and lower area around the tooth and then used something like a tiny CNC machine to create a perfect permanent crown right there and then!!!!! Color matched and all. They installed it, did some minor fine tuning and off I went. Less then 2 hours start to finish. Pricing was competitive with previous, much less satisfactory experiences. I am going back to do the new-patient evaluation and begin a regular dental program. There was no pressure to do this. l can't recommend OTDS highly enough!

My reasons for driving 45 minutes to come to this dental office are very personal and not for sale. I have trusted Anthony and Karimeh from the beginning of their living in Sebastopol. They are trustworthy and young. I believe they will be here for awhile.

I've been going to this dentist for over 40 years. Dr. Blount recently retired, and I love the husband & wife team that took his place. . They have all the latest and greatest technology, and the staff are great. Connie is a very good (and gentle) hygentist!

Meet the Doctors

Dr. Anthony Grados and Dr. Karimeh Shehadeh are a husband and wife team dedicated to making Sebastopol smile. After Dr. Grados completed dentistry school at NYU and Dr. Shehadeh completed dentistry school at University of the Pacific, the two met during residency in Brooklyn and married a few years later.

After moving back to California, the two fell in love with Sebastopol and purchased their dental practice. As new Sebastopol residents, they’re looking forward to enjoying the area’s relaxed pace of life, providing great dental care and forming long-lasting relationships with their patients as they become part of the community.
