What is CEREC?
At our practice, we recognize that you have many commitments and that your time is precious. Multiple dental visits can be frustrating and inconvenient, and we are dedicated to making your experience as easy as possible. Our Buffalo Grove dentist and team are proud to offer CEREC same-day restorations, a revolutionary technology that minimizes your time in the dental chair while maximizing the quality of your treatments. With CEREC, we can design, create, and place dental crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays in a single appointment.
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a sophisticated system that integrates advanced digital imaging, computer-aided design, and a precision milling machine. This integration allows us to create precise ceramic dental restorations right at the point of care. Choosing to receive a CEREC restoration can significantly reduce the disruption to your daily life, allowing you to achieve a healthier, more beautiful smile without the usual wait or multiple dental appointments. It is an ideal solution for busy individuals seeking prompt and effective dental treatments.
The CEREC process involves several steps:
- Consultation and Imaging: Our Buffalo Grove dentist will conduct a thorough examination and use a special camera to take precise digital images of your dental structure.
- Design: The CEREC software uses these images to create a detailed 3D model of your tooth. Our Buffalo Grove dentist will then customize the design of the restoration to fit your specific needs.
- Milling and Placement: Once the design is finalized, the data is sent to the on-site CEREC milling machine, which crafts your restoration from a ceramic block. The milling process is remarkably swift, often taking less than 20 minutes. The restoration is then polished and bonded to your tooth, all during the same visit.
Benefits of CEREC same-day dentistry include:
- Time Efficiency: Traditional dental restoration processes require at least two appointments. With CEREC, the entire procedure, from diagnosis to placement, is completed in a single visit.
- Comfort: Forget about uncomfortable impressions. CEREC uses a digital scanning system to capture accurate images of your teeth, enhancing both your comfort and the fit of your restoration.
- Aesthetic and Functional Match: CEREC uses high-quality ceramic materials that are matched to the natural color of your teeth, ensuring that your restorations look natural and aesthetic.
- Durability: The ceramic materials used in CEREC restorations are comparable to natural tooth enamel in terms of strength and wear resistance, providing a durable, long-lasting solution.
