Glidewell’s fastmill.io system empowers dental practices to deliver high-quality, fully sintered zirconia crowns in one appointment. Through advanced materials, AI-driven design, and efficient hardware, it offers a competitive edge in patient care, convenience, and clinical productivity.

That is correct; in just one brief visit to our office you can have a beautiful, durable crown installed – with no temporary holder, no sticky impressions, and little to no wait time.

The dental technology used for our CEREC same-day crowns is ground breaking and ensures a perfect fit for the crown and a natural appearance for the tooth. The process for our same day crown procedure is simple, the day of your appointment your dentist will;

  • Take a 3D digital scan of your mouth
  • Create a digital “blueprint” of your tooth
  • CEREC mills your dental crown from tooth-colored porcelain-like material
  • Bond your finished same-day crown into place

Key Features:

Fully Sintered Zirconia Blocks (BruxZir NOW):
Unlike traditional systems that mill soft, “green” zirconia requiring hours of post-milling firing, Fastmill.io uses pre-hardened zirconia that’s ready to cement immediately after milling—no oven wait required.

AI-Assisted Design Software (fastdesign.io):
Features like CrownAI™ and MarginAI™ automate and accelerate crown design, ensuring accurate fit and occlusion with minimal manual adjustment.

High-Torque, Electric Spindle Milling Machine:
The compact Fastmill.io unit uses a powerful electric spindle to handle hard materials without the need for external air compressors or ovens.

Open Scanner Compatibility:
Works with a wide range of intraoral scanners, allowing integration into existing digital workflows.

Same-Day Crown – What To Expect:

  1. Tooth Preparation: The dentist preps the tooth as usual.
  2. Digital Scanning: A 3D intraoral scan captures the tooth, bite, and opposing dentition.
  3. Crown Design: The fastdesign.io software uses AI to propose crown morphology and margins.
  4. Material Selection: A matching zirconia or aesthetic block is selected and loaded.
  5. Milling: The crown is milled directly from a fully sintered block in ~30–40 minutes.
  6. Finishing: The crown is polished and adjusted as needed.
  7. Cementation: The crown is bonded or cemented in the same appointment.

Benefits:

    1. Single-visit convenience for patients—no temporaries, no second appointments.
    2. High-strength restorations using BruxZir NOW or other durable materials.
    3. Time and cost savings by avoiding lab fees and reducing chair time.
    4. Aesthetic options are expanding, with translucent zirconia available for anterior cases.
    5. Streamlined workflow powered by AI design tools and fast in-office milling.
    6. Same day crowns are part of our broader restorative dentistry services, which help repair damaged or missing teeth.

Key Considerations For Patients Looking For A Same Day Crown In Joliet IL:

    • Initial investment in equipment and training is required.
    • Tool wear and maintenance are higher due to milling hard materials.
    • Aesthetic finishing may be limited compared to layered lab-fabricated crowns
    • Some complex cases may still require lab support.
    • Some complex cases may require traditional crowns fabricated through our dental bridge services.

How long does a same day crown appointment take?

Most same day crown visits take about 2–3 hours. This includes preparing the tooth, taking a digital scan, designing the crown, milling it in-office, and placing the final restoration during the same appointment.?

Are same day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes. Same day crowns are typically made from high-strength zirconia or ceramic materials that provide excellent durability and long-term performance similar to traditional lab crowns.

Do same day crowns look natural?

Digital design technology allows crowns to be shaped and colored to match surrounding teeth, creating a natural appearance that blends with your smile.

Is there a temporary crown?

No. Because the permanent crown is created during your visit, temporary crowns are not needed, reducing inconvenience and the risk of temporary crown problems.

What if my crown breaks later?

If a crown chips, loosens, or breaks, your dentist can evaluate the tooth and determine whether the crown can be repaired or needs replacement. Prompt evaluation helps prevent further damage.

Can front teeth get same day crowns?

Many front teeth can be restored with same day crowns using modern aesthetic zirconia or ceramic materials. Your dentist will evaluate whether this approach is appropriate for your case.
