If you’ve ever had a dental restoration such as a crown, veneer, or bridge, you are well aware that it can take several appointments. By the time the impressions are taken and sent to a laboratory for creation, and then finally received for placement, several weeks can pass. This can be a real inconvenience for patients who have busy schedules. Some even avoid having their dental issues fixed due to lack of time, which can put their oral health at risk.
At Löberg Professional Dental Corporation, we have a solution that offers patients the convenience of same day dental restorations. The E4D CAD/CAM system allows us to create restorations right in our office. You can now have your dental crown, inlay, or veneer placed in a single visit.
The E4D, like traditional CAD/CAM systems, has several components that allow us to produce in-house restorations. The state of the art computer system allows us to visualize the restoration digitally, the software allows us to design it, and the milling machine cuts the restoration to the correct size and shape. Traditional systems require impressions of the tooth, whereas the E4D takes a digital reading of the dimensions of your tooth, and uses a tiny camera to send this information to the machine for a digital model of your tooth.
During the design process, Dr. Löberg has the ability to make changes to the “virtual tooth” to ensure it is the correct color, shape, and size. When the design is finalized, it is sent to the milling unit where the restoration is cut.
Time no longer has to be your enemy when it comes to having your smile restored. The E4D system allows patients to avoid the hassle of multiple visits and temporary restorations. Your smile is important to you and we want to put you on the fast track to having that smile restored. If you are in Laguna Hills or surrounding areas and would like to learn more about same day dental restorations, call us today to schedule a consultation.
