"New advances in dental technology have made crown and dental implant procedures faster than ever before. We are now able to offer our patients the best in dental restorations in Arizona without the need for multiple appointments," said Dr. Covington.
Traditional dental implant procedures could take months to complete. With the addition of the Galileos Implant technology by Sirona, Dr. Covington is able complete a dental implant procedure on the same day. During a planning appointment, Dr. Covington takes a 360-degree scan of the patient's mouth and jaw in a few minutes. These 3-D images are used to create a dental model and develop the necessary dental surgical stents for the implant procedure.
At the implant appointment, Dr. Covington uses the surgical stents to precisely place the dental implant posts. A temporary crown is placed over the implant post allowing the patient to leave the office with a new smile. When the implants have fused to the bone properly, Dr. Covington will place the permanent crowns.
A crown procedure no longer means several dental appointments. The procedure is easier than ever at Dr. Covington's with same-day dental crowns using the E4D Sky System. With digital impressions and 3-D images, Dr. Covington designs a dental crown right in the office then an in-office milling machine sculpts the crown to his meticulous standards in a matter of minutes. The permanent crown then is ready to be fitted and cemented into place. The whole process is completed in just a few hours.
