The Truth About Crowns

Making crowns for teeth used to be a complicated process. The "usual" method involved taking an impression of the tooth and sending it to a lab where it takes a long time to create the crown. While waiting for the crown, the patient would wear a temporary crown, which didn't look good and could break easily. Only after the lab-made crown is complete can the patient come back for a second or third visit. Thank goodness these days are over!

Using E4D technology, the worn, chipped, or decayed teeth can be replaced with perfect tooth colored restorations. These restorations are bonded to the teeth and can last for years and years. E4D technology also allows us to complete the whole process in just 1 visit! You will leave with your permanent teeth with no need for a temporary crown. The result is a beautiful, strong, and metal-free crown restoration. Have no fear after the restoration and eat normally right away. E4D technology offered by Preston Dental is the best option for tooth restoration.

Crowns are No Longer Complicated

Making crowns used to be a complicated process. This process usually involves taking an impression of the tooth, sending it to a lab, and waiting while it takes up to three weeks to actually create your crown.

Thank goodness the process has been updated with E4D™ technology. Preston Dental uses E4D™ technology to replace worn, chipped, or a decayed tooth with perfect tooth colored restoration.
