E4D Computer-Aided Design 

Our E4D computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) technology allows our Laguna Hills dentists to take digital scans of your teeth without the need for messy conventional impression methods. In just a few minutes, this machine can take detailed images of your teeth, gums, and jaws so our team can get an accurate picture of your mouth. 

Using advanced software, Dr. Löberg and our team can design a personalized restoration and map out the best placement. This accuracy is helpful in reducing the time spent in the office and decreasing the chance of treatment complications. 

E4D Milling System

Most dentists send impressions to an off-site dental laboratory to create your restorations, be it dental crowns, bridges, or veneers. However, thanks to our E4D milling system, we can create your dental restorations on-site in just one appointment. Depending on the details of your case, our milling machine may be able to create your prosthetics in as little as 40 minutes.

Our Laguna Hills dentist will ensure your restoration matches the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless blend with your smile. This dental technology also eliminates any chance of the dental lab sending back an inaccurate restoration. 

Digital Workflow

Digital workflow has improved in recent years thanks to advancements in dental technology and is another way your treatment can be made more efficient and streamlined. Thanks to technology like scanners and advanced software, there’s now increased communication between our dental technicians and clinician. 

When your teeth are digitally scanned, they’re sent right away to the technician working the in-office milling machine so you can receive your customized restorations as soon as possible. Thanks to digital workflow making communication a breeze, this reduces the possibility of error when creating your dental restoration. 

CT Scanner

A computed tomography (CT) scan is a specialized type of X-ray that provides the dentist with a detailed 3-dimensional view of your teeth, gums, and jaw. CT scans can help Dr. Löberg to detect and diagnose certain dental issues, such as infections or abscesses. 

Undergoing a CT scan is a quick and painless procedure that can be completed in as few as 40 seconds. Our dentist will usually conduct this type of scan to track more severe dental conditions and offers more detailed results than regular X-ray technology.
