That means there’s less likelihood of you having to come back for us to ϐ ix a crown. What About 3D Printing? Now that we have a 3D printer in our of ϐ ice, we can create oral appliances like nightguards, retainers, aligners, and more right here in our practice. When you’re prescribed one of these products, you can often leave your appointment with it ready to use, without waiting for an outside dental lab to fabricate it. This means faster service for you, and if you ever need a replacement, we can quickly make another on-site, keeping the process convenient and ef ϐ icient. I Have an Emergency Broken Tooth — Where Should I Go? If you break a tooth or experience sudden damage, timing matters. In a traditional setting without a digital work ϐ low, the process typically involves placing a temporary crown and scheduling you to return once the lab has completed your case. That waiting period can be inconvenient, especially if you are in discomfort. Because we have a chairside mill at [INSERT PRACTICE NAME], we can often restore a broken tooth in a single visit. After evaluating and preparing the tooth, we scan, design, and fabricate your crown the same day. Instead of leaving with a temporary restoration, you leave with a permanent solution. When you’re dealing with an emergency, that ef ϐ iciency can make a stressful situation much easier. I Need a Crown — What’s the Difference in Process? If a dental of ϐ ice does not use digital technology, getting a crown usually requires at least two visits. The ϐ irst appointment involves preparing the tooth, making a mold of your teeth, and placing a temporary crown. You then wait one to three weeks for the laboratory to fabricate the ϐ inal crown before returning for placement. That second appointment often requires additional numbing, and occasionally adjustments if the ϐ it isn’t ideal. With our digital work ϐ low, the process is streamlined. After preparing the tooth, we take a digital scan instead of a traditional impression. Your crown is designed and milled in-of ϐ ice, and we place the ϐ inal restoration before you leave. There is no temporary crown and no second visit in most cases. The entire experience is faster and far more convenient.
