CEREC Dentist IN Matteson, IL

CEREC® is a modern solution to your dental care needs. At Progressive Dental & Associates, we want you to understand what a fantastic solution this is. To do so, you must first know what the traditional process of restoring or improving teeth looks like. Traditionally, if a tooth was damaged, stained or in need of aesthetic improvements, an impression would be taken of the tooth and surrounding teeth using a dental putty. Measurements would also be completed, and the two would be sent to the dental lab for a restoration to be created. This could include the creation of a dental veneer or dental crown. In the meantime, the damaged tooth would be prepared by having a portion of the enamel removed, and a temporary veneer or crown placed. Patients would wear the temporary for a week or two and then come back to our 60443 dental office for the permanent one to be bonded in place. The two biggest challenges with this scenario come down to time and convenience. The traditional process takes too much time and is inconvenient due to the necessity to have multiple dental appointments and the need to wear a temporary solution.
