About CEREC
What is CEREC?
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It is a state-of-the-art dental technology that enables us to create an inlay, onlay, crown, or bridge for our patients within one appointment. This speeds up a process that typically requires sending a mold of a patient’s teeth to a dental lab, which can take up to several weeks, whereas, with CEREC, it can be done on-site without the need for any temporary restorations. The dental restoration is made entirely of porcelain and looks just like a real tooth.
How does CEREC work?
- Gaps in teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Crowded teeth
Why CEREC?
Benefits of CEREC
- Fast Development and Treatment: Obtain a new tooth within one appointment and a few hours.
- Improved Accuracy: Utilizes advanced technology and cameras for precise results without the need for messy impressions.
- No More Impressions Needed: Highly accurate digital imaging eliminates the need for traditional molds.
- Enhanced Comfort: A quicker, less invasive process compared to traditional crowns, enhancing overall comfort.
- Superior End Results: Achieve highly accurate, seamless, and fast restorations in just a few hours.
- Custom Shade Options: Tailored shading for personalized cosmetic outcomes.
How Do I Know if CEREC is Right For Me?
CEREC is ideal for patients seeking smile enhancement, but it may not be suitable for everyone. As with any dental procedure, we will evaluate your case to determine its compatibility with your needs. In most cases, CEREC is the most efficient and expedient option for replacement procedures, offering a seamless and painless experience.
Is a same‑day crown as strong and durable as a traditional crown?
Yes. Our CEREC restorations are crafted from high-strength ceramic, offering durability and longevity comparable to lab-manufactured crowns, with natural aesthetics and a precise fit.
How long does the CEREC crown process take from start to finish?
Typically around 90 minutes to 2 hours. We digitally scan your tooth, design the restoration, mill it right here, then bond it in place all in the same appointment.

About Invisalign Treatment
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign consists of custom-made clear plastic aligners designed to correct dental issues discreetly. These aligners are replaced approximately every two weeks at home, gently guiding your teeth into the desired position. With minimal need for dental office adjustments, Invisalign can achieve the straightening process in less than a year, depending on your current dental condition.
How Are The Aligners Fitted?
Our office creates your Invisalign aligners by utilizing computer-generated images of your teeth. This quick and painless process involves customized aligner creation based on the initial configuration of your teeth. The number of aligners needed, typically ranging from 18 to 30, cater to your specific requirements with gradual adjustments to achieve your desired smile. These aligners are replaced every two weeks and apply gentle pressure to guide your teeth into the desired position.

Resolve Pediatric Tongue
& Lip Tie Challenges
Unlock the potential for a brighter future for your child with tongue tie surgery at Milltown Dental in Milton, ON. Our team can address concerns related to tongue and lip ties by utilizing laser frenectomy, a minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Julie Boudreault, a recognized expert in the field of pediatric frenectomy, prioritizes your child’s comfort and well-being throughout the treatment process.
About Tongue-Ties
What is Tongue-Tie?
Tongue-tie, also known as “Ankyloglossia,” limits tongue movement due to the fusion or adherence of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. This occurs when the “frenulum,” a piece of skin that runs along the floor of the mouth, is either abnormally short or attached too close to the tip of the tongue. Typically, this skin separates from the tongue before birth. However, in cases of tongue-tie, the frenulum remains attached, affecting daily functions.
Why is Tongue-Tie a Problem For Children?
Here are some challenges a tongue-tie can pose for children:
- Tongue-tie can lead to difficulties with breastfeeding, causing frustration and challenges for both mother and baby.
- Speech development may be hindered due to restricted tongue movement, impacting communication skills.
- Oral hygiene can be compromised, increasing the risk of dental issues in the future.
- Social and emotional development can be affected as children may struggle with self-esteem and confidence due to speech impediments.
- Tongue ties limit mouth mobility, restricting licking, kissing, and the ability to play wind instruments in the future.
Tongue-Ties Pose Challenges for Breastfeeding
Tongue-tie creates challenges for breastfeeding mothers and newborns. It can lead to difficulties with latching, causing physical discomfort for both mother and baby. This can result in poor weight gain for the baby, nipple issues for the mother, increased risk of infections, and disrupted sleep due to hunger.
Treating Tongue-Ties
How a Tongue-Tie is Diagnosed
Tongue-tie is typically diagnosed by observing the baby’s tongue shape during crying, where a heart-shaped or squared-off appearance may indicate the condition. Dr. Julie can evaluate your baby for tongue-tie, which may manifest as limited tongue movement, difficulty sticking out the tongue, and challenges with side-to-side motion.
What is a laser frenectomy?
Dr. Julie utilizes a soft tissue laser for a safe and efficient procedure to release the tongue’s frenulum. Unlike traditional cutting methods, the laser quickly separates the tissue without cutting it, ensuring a faster and safer process. This approach is comfortable for your baby, as you can hold them during the procedure.
What benefits can follow a tongue‑tie or lip‑tie release?
Parents often see improved breastfeeding (better latch, more weight gain), faster and clearer speech development, easier oral hygiene, and reduced risk for dental issues over time.
Why have tongue tie surgery?
- Improved breastfeeding success
- Enhanced comfort during breastfeeding
- Encourages milk production
- Enhances the breastfeeding experience and strengthens mother-baby bonding
- Provides psychological relief for parents, leading to better sleep
- Promotes baby’s growth and development
- Supports the development of healthy sleep patterns in babies
- Prevents potential long-term issues such as palatal development, tooth spacing, dental caries, and speech difficulties
- Reduces the risk of speech impairments
- Facilitates the development of a normal swallowing pattern
- Enables the tongue to naturally clean the mouth, reducing the chances of gum disease and decay
- Supports essential tongue functions like licking, kissing, and sticking the tongue out
- Helps decrease the risk of choking and the development of an overly sensitive gag reflex
What should I expect during recovery after frenectomy?
Recovery is quick and often requires no stitches, with parents comforting their child during and after. The laser seals nerve endings and vessels, reducing bleeding and discomfort. Healing supports improved feeding, speech, and oral function.
