What are E4D One-Visit Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are essentially protective shells that are designed to fit over the top side of a decayed or damaged tooth to strengthen it so that patients can enjoy a healthier bite again. They can also be made to match the rest of your smile so that your results aren’t noticeable. With traditional crowns, the process tends to take several appointments to finish before you can receive the results. E4D one-visit dental crowns, however, can be placed in a single appointment.

The Process of Getting E4D One-Visit Dental Crowns

Unlike the conventional method used to take impressions for the fitting of a dental crown, our process eliminates the need for messy impression materials or long waits. Instead, Dr. Buck will use a digital scanner to capture detailed images of your mouth from every angle. You’ll simply rest comfortably in our dental chair; the entire process is quick and simple.

The information we collect will then be used by the E4D-powered software to develop a digital, three-dimensional model that can be assessed and manipulated on a computer screen. When the design for your crown is ready, our milling machine will start fabricating your customized dental restoration right in our dental office. This means there’s no need for multiple appointments or temporary crowns while you wait. Within one to two hours, you’ll leave our Dublin, OH dental office with your beautiful new restoration in place, looking and feeling better than you have in a long time.

The Benefits of E4D One-Visit Crowns vs. Traditional Dental Crowns

One of the most advantageous things about E4D one-visit dental crowns is that they’re extremely convenient, as you won’t have to wait for a couple of appointments to get the results you require. Since the treatment is much faster than with the traditional process, you also won’t require a temporary crown. The E4D CAD/CAM technology will construct your restoration so precisely that others won’t even be able to tell it apart from your other natural teeth. With proper care, you’ll be able to preserve your results for more than a decade before needing to get a replacement. One-visit crowns are also similar in cost compared to traditional dental crowns, making them an affordable alternative.

E4D One-Visit Dental Crown FAQs

Who is Eligible to Receive One-Visit Dental Crowns?

One-visit dental crowns are generally designed to help treat most of the same issues that traditional ones can. In many cases, patients who are suffering from having a tooth that’s severely cracked, misshapen, or otherwise damaged are usually eligible for same-day crowns. This is because you can receive the solution you need much quicker, saving yourself time and discomfort so that you can return to oral health. These dental caps can also be used to treat cosmetic flaws, such as a heavily stained tooth. If you’re undergoing a large filling or root canal treatment, you can protect and strengthen your tooth right away by receiving a one-visit dental crown.

How Durable Are E4D One-Visit Dental Crowns?

These dental crowns are usually constructed out of a solid block of porcelain dental material. While not organic like natural teeth, the porcelain is still able to mimic enamel while also being durable enough to withstand the pressures of chewing. On top of being exceptionally durable, one-visit dental crowns can also typically go for 10 to 15 years or more before needing to be replaced with a new one. To make the most out of your new tooth, you’ll want to strictly stay away from certain habits that can ruin them in the long run, such as smoking. Maintaining good oral hygiene every day as well as visiting your dentist for checkups and cleanings every six months is a great way to maximize the longevity of your E4D dental crown. 

What’s the Cost Difference Between One-Visit & Traditional Dental Crowns?

Since E4D one-visit dental crowns come with certain benefits compared to traditional ones, many patients think that they are a more expensive option. Fortunately, this isn’t technically the case. These same-day dental caps might sometimes come with a slightly higher price than regular ones, but they do come with the advantage of being able to be placed without you having to adjust your schedule. In most cases, this treatment option is similar in cost to traditional crowns, and they also typically have a portion covered by dental insurance.

Will I Have Dietary Restrictions with a One-Visit Dental Crown?

With traditional dental crowns, you’ll first have to wear temporary ones during the fabrication process, meaning you might have some restrictions on what you can safely eat. However, E4D one-visit dental crowns don’t require you to wear provisional ones. Since you’ll be able to get your final results on the same day, you should be able to eat most of your favorite foods right after receiving your dental cap.
