Crowns and Inlays E4D in Montreal – Restorations in a Single Visit
Durable, Precise and Fast Restorations
At Yacovitch Dental, we use cutting-edge E4D technology to design and place your crowns and inlays in just one appointment. This innovation allows us to restore a damaged tooth efficiently while avoiding multiple visits and temporary crowns.
What Is E4D Technology?
The E4D system is based on CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design and manufacturing). It includes:
-
A laser scanner that captures precise digital impressions of your teeth
-
Design software that creates a customized restoration
-
A 3D milling unit that sculpts the crown or inlay from a biocompatible ceramic block
This process, fully completed in our clinic, provides a perfectly fitted restoration in a single day.
