Same Day Dentistry with E4D

Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has been revolutionizing many industries, including dentistry.

It is now possible for you to have your final crown made and placed on the same day! We will start with a digital scan of your entire mouth – no more messy impression material. The scan is sent to our in-office milling chamber where custom fabrication will begin. The computer and manufacturing technology makes a precise tooth that we later glaze and bake in our high-temperature oven to strengthen it.

Once we have the scan, you are able to leave the office. We will see you back later the same day, usually within a couple of hours, and at that time we will place your final crown.

Benefits of Computer-Aided Restorations:

● Safe and simple procedure
● One Appointment
● Advanced laser technology provides absolute precision
● No need for temporary restorations
● No unpleasant or messy impressions

Our dentists are specially trained in using the E4D technology. The system allows them to replace the conventional impression methods with a clean, fast digital scan that is obtained in jst minutes through a series of photographic images taken in your mouth. Combining this scanned data with our advanced software, we’re able to design a custom, permanent restoration.

Your final result is a natural-looking restoration of superior strength that perfectly matches the surrounding teeth, making your crown virtually undetectable. The elimination of impressions, temporaries, and second appointments enhances your entire dental experience.

There are some instances where traditional impressions and lab fabrication may be necessary and provide you with a superior outcome to a same day crown. If that is the case, we will discuss your clinical indications and treatment options thoroughly with you.

We strive to provide our patients with the best dental experience possible which is why it is important to use to stay up to date with improved techniques. The addition of same-day crowns as one of our treatment options has provided our patients with exceptional service and results. We look forward to showing you how your new crown will be made.
