E4D One-Visit Porcelain Crowns


If you’re one of the thousands of adults who have had a crown placed, you know the challenges that may accompany that procedure. Messy impressions, loose temporary crowns, multiple anesthetic shots, and multiple dental visits are just a few of the annoyances patients complain about. And if you’ve had a porcelain-metal crown placed in the past, you may be unhappy with the unsightly black line at your gum line or you may be concerned about the type of metal that was used in the fabrication.

E4D one visit porcelain crowns and onlays make that all a thing of the past. More convenient and comfortable than traditional dental crowns, E4D porcelain crowns and onlays can often be prepared, scanned, and delivered in one dental appointment. The revolutionary E4D CAD-CAM laser computer scanner eliminates dental impressions. The in-office milling machine uses the same high-end porcelains that the best labs use and can mill most crowns and onlays in about 20 minutes.

Utilizing the same technology that high-end dental labs use, Dr. Alfe can scan, mill, glaze and polish your porcelain crown or onlay in as little as 1 ½-2 hours. Dr. Alfe was honored to be part of the E4D clinical group at the Chicago Midwinter Dental meeting in 2010 and 2011, teaching other dentists about this technology.

You may be a great candidate for an E4D porcelain crown or onlay if you:

  • Have a sensitive gag reflex and cannot tolerate messy impressions
  • Have had trouble with temporary crowns coming loose in the past
  • Have such a busy schedule that multiple visits are difficult for you
  • Have trouble getting numb
  • Hate the needle and would like to have as few shots as possible
  • Have old porcelain-metal crowns and dislike their appearance
  • Have old porcelain-metal crowns and are worried about what type of metal was used
  • Notice gum sensitivity, recession or bleeding around old porcelain-metal crowns
  • Want the most conservative treatment for your teeth
