Same-day dentistry is gaining popularity rapidly. The procedures are simple, convenient, and save a lot of chair time, which is why many dental practices are turning towards incorporating it. The most sought-after technology in this regard is CEREC- Chairside Economical Restoration using Esthetic Ceramic.
The conventional means of getting dental restorations fabricated usually take a few days. The dentist will initially take a mold of the teeth by asking you to bite into a piece of gooey material. It will be used to create a physical impression of the tooth, which is used as a reference for fabricating the restoration. Although it is fairly accurate, the restorations may sometimes be out of shape or sized differently.
With same-day dentistry, this process is replaced by a highly advanced and computer-guided system. CEREC incorporates CAD/CAM technology, where scanning the teeth is carried out using a hand-held digital scanner. A digital mold of the tooth will be created and input to a computer-guided milling machine. It mills out the restoration from a small block of ceramic quickly, usually in a few minutes. We will retrieve the restoration and make subtle changes to its structure before bonding it to the tooth.
As opposed to the conventional means of fabricating restorations, which take up to two weeks to be finished, one can opt for the same-day services to get the restorations on the same day.
