At one point, finding out you needed a crown meant looking forward to multiple visits for treatment. But! Our team is proud to offer same-day dental crowns with the advanced E4D system. In today’s blog, your Shrewsbury, MA, dentist talks about how we create and place same-day dental crowns to return your smile to full function, health, and beauty.
When We Suggest Placement
So, when does a tooth benefit from the placement of a dental crown? We could recommend one when a tooth is injured, as it allows us to repair cracked or chipped teeth. Placement could be essential when a tooth is too decayed for a filling, so we can stop discomfort and prevent infection. Should a tooth become infected, we could use a restoration to complete a root canal procedure. The placement process could also improve bite function and chewing capabilities, while also ensuring proper balance. Even the replacement of missing teeth is possible, as we can support a dental bridge or even complete a single tooth dental implant.
The E4D Same-Day Process
When you need a dental crown, we can use the CAD/CAM E4D process to complete the entire process in only one sitting. To begin, we will numb the tooth so you stay comfortable as we remove structure from it. Once we do, we will take detailed digital images and measurements of the tooth, using this to create a 3D computer impression that is far more accurate than a physical one. This also means no need to bite down on a mold filled with gooey material!
We then design the crown and upload the information into an onsite milling machine. Once we do, we will be able to print your new restoration from dental ceramic. The material ensures the finished restoration can endure daily bite forces and pressures. In addition, this can be shaded to blend with your smile and offer a lifelike appearance!
Securing Your Dental Restoration
When complete, we can check the fit to see if you need any final adjustments. If not, we will attach it with a powerful bonding agent. You now have a custom restoration that matches your smile, and all in one sitting! If you have any questions about how we place a custom option in only one visit, or if you have an aching or damaged tooth that needs repair, then contact our team today to get started. We can restore your tooth to full function, health, and beauty in only one visit.
