Same-Day 3D Printed Crowns

At Legacy Smiles of Orlando, we take pride in creating natural-looking, seamless crowns that blend beautifully with your surrounding teeth, even when produced on the same day. We use a combination of digital photography, advanced shade-matching guides, and real-time visual comparisons to select the correct shade before printing. Once printed, we further customize the crown's surface by adding stains, glazing, and contour adjustments to fine-tune the final appearance. The SprintRay Midas porcelain/resin hybrid has excellent translucency and color stability, allowing for highly aesthetic results even on front teeth. Our attention to detail ensures that your 3D printed crown looks completely natural, so your friends and family won't even notice you've had dental work.

You will likely be numb for part of the appointment, but not for the entire visit. We use local anesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable during the crown preparation phase, where the tooth is shaped for the restoration. After this initial portion is completed and your scan is taken, most patients report minimal discomfort during the digital scanning, design, and 3D printing process. Once the crown is ready for placement, minimal adjustments and bonding usually do not require additional anesthesia. Compared to traditional multi-appointment crown procedures, patients appreciate the streamlined and efficient process, as well as the ability to leave with their final crown in place, fully functional, and comfortable - all in one visit.

 While SprintRay Midas crowns are designed for precise fit and minimal adjustment, occasionally, minor refinements may be necessary after placement. We carefully check your bite, contacts, and aesthetics before final bonding to ensure perfect alignment and comfort. If minor adjustments are needed in the future, such as smoothing, reshaping, or bite refinements, they can usually be performed easily in-office without requiring crown replacement. In rare cases where long-term changes are needed, the digital design file allows us to reprint a new crown quickly and efficiently, avoiding the need to start the process from scratch. Our goal is always to deliver long-term comfort, functionality, and aesthetic perfection from your same-day restoration.

Yes - with SprintRay Midas technology, we can design and print multiple crowns in a single visit, depending on the number of teeth involved and the complexity of your case. Whether you need two adjacent crowns or multiple restorations throughout the mouth, we can scan, design, and produce each crown using the same digital workflow. This allows for highly efficient treatment, often completing what would traditionally require multiple visits in just one or two appointments. For patients undergoing smile makeovers, full arch rehabilitation, or replacing multiple old crowns, this same-day capability offers an unparalleled combination of speed, precision, and comfort, eliminating long waiting periods while still delivering exceptional esthetic and functional outcomes.

Absolutely. Digital scanning is at the heart of the SprintRay Midas same-day crown process. Instead of using uncomfortable impression trays, we use a high-resolution intraoral scanner to capture an incredibly accurate 3D image of your teeth, gums, and bite. This scanning process is fast, highly precise, and completely mess-free. The digital file is then immediately imported into our CAD software, where your custom crown is designed on-site. Digital scanning ensures superior accuracy compared to traditional impressions and allows for faster design, more precise margins, and fewer adjustments. At Legacy Smiles of Orlando, Dr. Joshua Hall's fully digital workflow creates a smoother, more comfortable experience from start to finish, while producing crowns that fit better and last longer.

3D printing has been used in dentistry for well over a decade, primarily for orthodontic models, surgical guides, nightguards, and temporary restorations. However, recent technological advancements, such as SprintRay Midas, have now made it possible to create permanent, full-strength crowns using 3D printing. The introduction of pressure-mediated 3D printing represents a significant breakthrough, offering strength and accuracy previously only achievable through traditional milling or laboratory ceramics. Legacy Smiles of Orlando stays at the forefront of these innovations, adopting the latest technologies to offer patients faster, more comfortable, and more reliable treatment options without compromising quality or aesthetics.

Same-day 3D printed crowns can actually help prevent long-term dental issues by minimizing many of the risks associated with traditional multi-visit crown procedures. Without the need for a temporary crown, patients avoid the common problems associated with temporary crowns, such as loosening, falling off, or allowing bacteria and plaque to accumulate. The faster placement of the permanent crown also helps seal the tooth more quickly, protecting the underlying structure from additional decay or sensitivity. Additionally, the precise fit of digitally designed crowns reduces the likelihood of future bite problems, crown failure, or periodontal irritation. The faster you receive your final restoration, the less opportunity there is for additional damage,  making same-day printing a highly preventative option for maintaining long-term oral health and stability.

Legacy Smiles of Orlando combines cutting-edge technology with a luxury-level patient experience. While many offices may offer same-day crown options with older technologies, few have invested in next-generation 3D printing like SprintRay Midas, along with the detailed digital design expertise necessary to maximize its potential. Every step of your treatment is handled directly by Dr. Joshua Hall and our highly trained and experienced team,  ensuring personalized care, unmatched attention to detail, and superior aesthetic outcomes. Our boutique environment offers relaxed appointments, concierge service, and advanced comfort amenities while delivering state-of-the-art clinical results. From digital scanning to same-day placement, you can trust Legacy Smiles of Orlando to provide fast, beautiful, long-lasting crowns in a single visit, without sacrificing precision or luxury.

SprintRay Midas stands out from older same-day crown systems like traditional milling units (CEREC or Planmeca) because it uses pressure-mediated 3D printing rather than subtractive milling. Traditional milling systems carve crowns from solid blocks of ceramic, which often leads to material waste and longer production times, and can limit the fine details of marginal adaptation. SprintRay Midas, on the other hand, builds the crown layer-by-layer under controlled pressure, resulting in a stronger, denser, and more dimensionally stable crown. This allows for faster print times (as little as 8 minutes), improved accuracy, and a better fit, particularly at the margins where long-term leakage often occurs. At Legacy Smiles of Orlando, we've chosen SprintRay Midas because it allows us to deliver truly next-generation same-day crown technology, offering superior precision, strength, and esthetics in a way that older same-day systems simply cannot match.

Unfortunately, the SprintRay Midas is designed specifically for crowns and does not currently support bridges. However, single veneers and select multiple-unit veneer cases may be possible with same-day 3D printing. Because veneers involve a much higher level of aesthetic design, color matching, and surface characterization, multiple veneers will typically require more extensive design and finishing time than a single crown. At Legacy Smiles of Orlando, we carefully evaluate each veneer case to determine if same-day fabrication is appropriate or if partnering with one of our high-end cosmetic labs would deliver a more optimal long-term result. Regardless of the approach, our fully digital workflow allows us to ensure exceptional precision, predictable results, and customized smile design - whether done chairside or through advanced lab collaboration.

Yes -  one of the major advantages of SprintRay Midas 3D printing is that it completely eliminates the need for traditional dental impressions. Instead of uncomfortable impression trays filled with gooey material, we use an advanced digital intraoral scanner that captures a full 3D image of your teeth, bite, and surrounding structures with incredible accuracy. This process is quick, comfortable, highly accurate, and entirely mess-free. The digital scan is then used immediately to design your new crown, dramatically shortening the time from preparation to permanent placement. Patients love the convenience and comfort of impression-free dentistry, and the resulting crown often requires fewer adjustments thanks to the superior precision of digital design.

 Absolutely -  SprintRay Midas same-day crown technology is especially beneficial for patients who experience dental anxiety, fear of multiple appointments, or discomfort with traditional procedures. Because everything is completed in a single visit, you avoid the stress of returning for multiple fittings, temporary crown issues, or prolonged treatment timelines. No messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and no weeks of waiting mean a smoother and more relaxing dental experience. For nervous patients, being able to complete treatment efficiently, comfortably, and under the care of a doctor they trust reduces anxiety and helps build confidence in receiving ongoing care. At Legacy Smiles of Orlando, we combine this technology with our spa-like environment, comfort amenities, and relationship-based care to create a uniquely calm experience -  even for patients who have struggled with dental visits in the past.

Yes -  many patients choose to combine same-day crown printing with other cosmetic dental or facial aesthetic treatments during the same appointment. For example, you may receive teeth whitening, Botox, dermal fillers, or cosmetic bonding while we design and print your crown. Because SprintRay Midas allows us to complete the crown in real time, you have the flexibility to maximize your visit and receive multiple services in a single, efficient session. This is especially helpful for patients preparing for weddings, photo shoots, interviews, or other important events where timing and appearance are critical. At Legacy Smiles of Orlando, we're happy to create coordinated cosmetic treatment plans that blend dental care with facial aesthetics, allowing you to leave your visit with a fully refreshed, photo-ready smile.
