Welcome to Jeffrey T. Lodl DDS, where we are proud to offer CEREC Same-Day Dentistry to our patients in Arvada, Colorado. This state-of-the-art dental technology revolutionizes the way we approach restorative treatments, providing faster, more efficient care without sacrificing quality.
The Essence of CEREC Same-Day Dentistry
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a sophisticated system that allows for the creation of high-quality dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, onlays, and inlays, directly within our office in just one visit. Utilizing advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, CEREC streamlines the process from digital impressions to the milling of your custom restoration on-site.
Advantages of Choosing CEREC Treatment
- Time Efficiency: Complete your dental restoration in a single appointment, eliminating the need for multiple visits.
- Digital Precision: Digital impressions ensure a more accurate fit and better comfort for the patient.
- Durability: Materials used in CEREC restorations are known for their strength and longevity.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Ceramic materials match your natural tooth color, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Your Journey with CEREC Technology
The process begins with a consultation where Dr. Jeffrey Lodl will evaluate your needs and explain how CEREC can benefit you. Following this, digital impressions of your teeth are taken using a special camera. These images are then used to design your restoration with precision software. Once designed, the information is sent to our in-office milling machine that carves out the restoration from a ceramic block. Finally, after adjustments for fit and color matching, your new restoration is bonded to your tooth—all within the same visit.
Setting Realistic Expectations for Your Visit
While the efficiency and convenience of CEREC Same-Day Dentistry are unparalleled, it’s important for patients to have realistic expectations. The majority will leave our office with a fully completed dental restoration; however, complex cases may require additional adjustments or follow-up care. Rest assured, our team at Jeffrey T. Lodl DDS is committed to ensuring your utmost satisfaction and comfort throughout the process.
