A custom crown, in a single visit
We scan, design and fabricate your ceramic crown in-house with CAD/CAM and 3D printing. One appointment, no goopy moulds, no temporary crown and no second visit.
The traditional crown journey is a two-act inconvenience: an appointment to take a putty mould and fit a flimsy temporary, then a wait of a fortnight while a distant lab fabricates the real thing, then a second appointment to cement it. Temporaries fall off, sensitivity creeps in, and the colour is never quite certain. NovaTech compresses all of that into a single visit.
It begins with a digital intraoral scan that captures your prepared tooth in fine detail — no putty, no gagging, no impressions. That 3D model flows straight into our CAD/CAM software, where your crown is designed on screen to fit your bite, your neighbouring teeth and your natural anatomy with sub-millimetre accuracy.
Milled and printed on site
Once the design is approved, our in-house unit fabricates the crown from a solid block of high-strength dental ceramic, milling and finishing it to the exact specification. Advanced 3D printing also lets us produce precise models, surgical guides and provisional restorations, giving us complete control over quality without sending anything off site.
What same-day crowns offer
- Your permanent crown designed and made in one appointment
- No putty impressions — just a comfortable digital scan
- No temporary crown to loosen, irritate or fall off
- Colour matched to your surrounding teeth on the day
- Durable, metal-free ceramic that looks completely natural
Precision you can rely on
Digital design removes the human error of hand-poured moulds and lab guesswork. The crown is engineered to the digital model of your mouth, so the fit at the margins — where decay tends to start if a crown sits poorly — is exceptionally accurate. A precise fit is one of the strongest predictors of a long-lasting restoration.
The ceramics we use are both strong and beautiful, designed to withstand years of biting force while reflecting light like natural enamel. Because we colour-match on the day, your new crown blends seamlessly with the teeth around it, with no grey metal line at the gum.
If you need a crown but dread the moulds, the temporaries and the second trip back, this is the modern alternative. Book a same-day crown appointment and leave with your tooth fully restored.
3D Printing Crowns questions
Yes. We mill from high-strength dental ceramic blocks engineered for durability, and the precise digital fit actually improves longevity. For most teeth, a same-day crown is every bit as robust as one made over two weeks in an external laboratory.
Plan for roughly two hours from scan to cementation. After preparing the tooth and scanning, the design and fabrication run while you relax, and we fit and bond the finished crown the same day — no return visit required.
We match the ceramic shade to your surrounding teeth on the day, in your own mouth's lighting, then characterise and glaze the crown to blend naturally. Because it is metal-free, there is no dark line at the gum to give it away.
