Have you ever had to receive a dental crown? You might recall a lengthy process that involved messy impressions, a temporary crown, and a weeks-long waiting period before your custom tooth crown was ready. Thanks to highly advanced E4D technology, those hassles are a thing of the past! We now offer same day dental crowns in Mankato. Read on to learn some of the remarkable benefits that E4D restorations offer.
Save Time
The traditional process for placing a dental crown happens across two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist prepares the tooth and takes impressions. Then, the patient wears a temporary crown for weeks while waiting for a laboratory to create a permanent restoration. Same day crowns cut out the waiting period. In a single appointment, you may be able to receive a custom, permanent restoration.
No Need for a Temporary Crown
The purpose of a temporary crown is to protect a weak tooth until a permanent crown is ready. It is made of softer material and placed with temporary adhesive. Therefore, care must be taken with chewing so as not to cause it to become loose or come out complexly. A same day E4D crown eliminates the need for a temporary crown, providing you with enhanced strength and superior protection for your tooth.
Beauty and Strength
E4D crowns from your dentist in Mankato are constructed of high-quality dental ceramic. They are designed to blend in seamlessly with the teeth around them, contributing to a beautiful and natural-looking smile. The ceramic is also quite strong, able to stand up to everyday eating and speaking.
Remarkable Technology
The E4D system uses advanced laser scanning technology to create 3D images of a patient’s mouth. The results are so exact that there is no need for your dental team to take traditional impressions of your teeth. Using the scans, the team designs a crown that is the right color and shape for your tooth. The data goes to an in-house milling unit, which creates a permanent crown out of a block of dental ceramic.
Precise Design
The way your teeth fit together is an essential component of your oral health. A crown that does not fit exactly right may negatively affect your bite and lead to jaw discomfort. Same day crowns made with E4D technology aim to be perfect for your mouth, providing you with a well-aligned bite that feels so comfortable and natural that you might forget you have a crown.
