(Newswire.net — June 20, 2014) Chandler, AZ — Impressions Dental now uses E4D equipment in-house. This technological advance benefits patients in need of crowns and related services. Crowns now are available in one day, which greatly reduces the time that patients would have to wait for this service historically.
Crowns are permanent dental coverings that allow an otherwise damaged tooth to remain in place. Acting like a protective lid, the typical crown usually caps off a tooth that has been damaged by standard decay, physical trauma such as cracking or has suffered a wide variety of other problems. In the past, this type of tooth may have been pulled. Due to the availability of crowns, the tooth can remain in place, which benefits the overall health and good looks of the patient’s mouth.
A crown may be made of porcelain, resin or even gold. Ensuring that the covering fits perfectly calls for extensive measurements and fittings. E4D equipment is the type of measuring device that relies on up-to-date scans of the tooth to assist in the manufacture of a suitable cover that will last for years to come. The digital measurements and calibrations allow our technicians to manufacture and bake the crowns in the glazing oven to enable the installation of the dental device in a short time.
Previously, this technology was outsourced, which caused the crown fitting process to take multiple appointments. With the new in-house availability of E4D technology, Impressions Dental professionals now make the digital impressions, translate them into actual product specifications and then turn the model into a real crown that fits on the patient’s tooth with perfect precision. Since the whole system is designed for chair-side usage, it becomes part of the patient’s crown appointment. By the way, E4D technology is also used for the creation of inlays and veneers.
