When it comes to getting your new crown, faster is better: the sooner your tooth is restored, the sooner you can show off your smile with pride. At Summerville Dentistry in Augusta, GA, we make it possible for you to receive your crown in a single visit using the E4D system.
How Do Same-Day Crowns Work?
You no longer need to wait for a permanent crown to be fabricated by a lab and shipped back to your dentist’s office. We use state-of-the-art technology to create your customized crown right in our office, so you can walk out with your dental work complete.
The E4D system is a CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design & Manufacturing) machine. It’s a laser scanner, design center, and 3D milling machine all in one.
The process of creating your crown is simple. First, a digital scan of your teeth is taken and sent to the computer. Then the milling machine uses the image to create your custom-made permanent crown in mere minutes.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns
Eliminate hassle: A traditional crown procedure requires preparation of the teeth, placement of a temporary crown, waiting for your permanent crown to arrive, returning to have the temporary crown removed, and finally having your new crown bonded to your tooth. A same-day crown allows you to leave the office with your permanent crown after a single appointment.
Customized treatment: Your new crown is created to match the shape of your teeth and desired shade of white. Laser technology scans the exact dimensions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit and a natural look.
Strong and durable: The porcelain crowns created by the E4D system are on par with traditional lab-made crowns in strength. With proper dental hygiene, your new crown can last for years.
