The optimum Ceramic Reconstruction

Almost everyone has at least one filling, most people have more. These fillings are made of metal that doesn't match your teeth, and may even weaken your tooth. These fillings usually look black in the mouth but are actually amalgam or silver-mercury fillings. It is estimated that over 1 billion of these fillings will need to be replaced over the next ten years. An increasing number of patients are taking advantage of CEREC to replace, repair, and restore weak or broken fillings in a single office visit. There have been over 5,000,000 CEREC restorations placed worldwide, with a new restoration being placed every 20 seconds.

CEREC is an acronym for Ceramic Reconstruction. CEREC is the best way to quickly and economically restore your damaged teeth or fillings. CEREC is used for inlays, onlays, partial crowns, posterior crowns, anterior crowns, and veneers.

Your CEREC procedure begins with an examination to determine what treatment is best for your needs. Patient love the Cad-Cam technology and enjoy watching as their exquisite ceramic restorations are milled in a matter of minutes.

The true beauty of the restoration is the conservative nature. It is not necessary to remove all the enamel like an ordinary crown, but the technology allows us to retain all the healthy areas of your tooth and remove only the damaged and diseased areas.

Your tooth is then prepared, and an Optical Impression is taken. This digital photo is converted into a 3D virtual model. This model is used to shape a ceramic block with the in-office milling machine. Your restoration is ready in about 15 minutes. This restoration is tested for proper fit and bite. Your restoration is then bonded to the prepared tooth.

Dr. Ira Shapira and Dr Mark Amidei have great expertise with the Cerec system. They were the first dentists in Lake County, Illinois to begin to use this awesome technology 16 years ago.

The result is a perfectly fitted ceramic restoration that looks, feels, and functions exactly the same as your natural teeth. While Dr. Shapira has done thousands of restorations, the true Cerec artist is Dr. Mark Amidei, and he has raised the use of this technology to an art form. It is often difficult to perceive where his work has been placed.

With CEREC, there is no need for a temporary restoration or multiple trips to the office. CEREC is a safe, quick, and easy way to restore your smile and get on with your life.
