Holidays keeping you busy enough this year? Well then maybe this is a good time to squeeze in that dental crown you’ve been putting off. Not to worry—Family Dental Practice of Bloomfield offers same day crown service with the E4D system. With this system, your Bloomfield, CT, dentist can design, build and place your crown in just one appointment. So even if your holiday schedule is a little crazy, you can still take the time to repair a tooth.
A dental crown, also called a dental cap, is designed to completely cover a damaged tooth. In some cases, a tooth may need a crown because of severe decay. Sometimes, a deep crack threatens the integrity of your tooth or a traumatic injury has left your tooth severely damaged. Whatever the reason, it’s important to protect your tooth with a crown so you can preserve the tooth, maintain your oral health and continue to have a beautiful smile.
The E4D Dentist System was developed and manufactured by D4D Technologies for dentists to conveniently in their offices. This system uses laser scanner technology instead of a messy impression to capture an exact likeness of your tooth. This image is then transferred to a special computer system with 3D CAD software that designs your tooth restoration; in turn this design is forwarded to our on-site milling unit that fabricates your crown while you wait.
Same Day Dentistry at Family Dental Practice
Once one of our dentists has determined that a porcelain crown with E4D is the appropriate option for your tooth restoration, you are only a couple of hours away from having a strong and functional tooth. Treatment requires local anesthesia, because your tooth will need to be reshaped so the new crown fits comfortably between your adjacent teeth. Scans are taken before and after your tooth is prepared, so we can create a crown that perfectly mimics your existing tooth and adheres seamlessly within your smile.
Once the CAD software designs your crown, the milling process takes only 20 minutes to fabricate your tooth restoration. Then, the dentist carefully examines the crown to make sure it is perfect from color to cusp. We’ll put it on your prepared tooth to check the fit and if that’s right, too, then the crown is cemented in to place and you’re good to go with your sturdy tooth and lovely smile!
