Crowns A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored or badly shaped. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. Crowns can also be used to attach bridges, protect a weak tooth from breaking or restore one that’s already broken. The above article is from: MouthHealthy.org The Center for Smiles Dr. Nicholas Rallis & Associates 209-20 35th Avenue Bayside, NY 11361 (718) 631-7800 CenterForSmiles.com
Natural-Looking Crowns Made While You Wait You know the routine. You visit the dentist. You need a crown. The dentist prepares the tooth, takes an impression and installs a temporary crown. You then wait two weeks to return to the dentist, and he installs the permanent crown. And if the fit isn’t perfect, then it goes back to the lab and you wait again. And return to the dentist again.
But now, that’s all changed. Our doctors can reduce that two-week waiting period and the two or three office visits down to just a single visit with new technology! This new technology is called E4D™, a computer-aided design and milling device. E4D allows us to create a permanent crown in just a few minutes. Now, there’s no more waiting for the lab and no return trips to the dentist. Patients love it!
The E4D system allows us to repair a damaged tooth in about an hour. We no longer need to take impressions or create temporaries, and E4D enables us to satisfy patients seeking a long-lasting, esthetic alternative to silver or plastic fillings.
To make the restoration, we first paint a reflective powder over the prepared tooth. Using a special camera, we take an accurate picture of the tooth, and the picture is then displayed on a computer screen, enabling us to design the restoration. Then E4D takes over and automatically creates the restoration. Finally, we bond the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth.
