Frequently Asked Questions
How are single-visit crowns different from traditional crowns?
single-visit crowns are more convenient and efficient than traditional crowns, as they are designed, milled, and placed in a single visit using advanced digital tools. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. In contrast, traditional crowns require several visits for preparation, impressions, and waiting for a lab-made crown, which can take weeks. Thus, single-visit crowns offer a faster, streamlined process.
How does the technology work?
Our practice is outfitted with a computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system known as the glidewell.io™ In-Office Solution. This digital workflow starts with the use of an intraoral scanner to get a fast, detailed scan of your mouth. Next, we use AI-enhanced specialized software to design your restoration. The final step is to fabricate the dental restoration using a mill, which functions like a 3D printer to create crowns or veneers.
