How 3D‑Printing and Same‑Day Crowns Are Changing Smile Restorations in Roseville

TL;DR:
Gone are the days of goopy impressions and waiting weeks for your permanent crown. Thanks to 3D-printing and digital scanning technology, patients in Roseville can now get same-day dental crowns that are fast, comfortable, and incredibly precise. Designing Smiles is proud to be one of the few clinics in the area offering this time-saving solution.

Say Goodbye to the Old Way

If you’ve ever had a crown done in the past, you probably remember the process:
– An uncomfortable impression
– A temporary crown that didn’t quite fit
– A second visit weeks later to place the final one

That’s no longer the case. Same-day crowns have completely transformed the experience—and they’re available right here at Designing Smiles in Roseville.

So, How Does It Work?

Instead of using old-school trays and putty, we start with a digital scan of your teeth. This is faster, cleaner, and far more accurate.

Next, our team uses advanced CAD/CAM technology (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) to design your crown digitally—matching the shape, color, and bite of your natural teeth.

Finally, the crown is milled right here in our office using 3D-printing technology and high-quality ceramic materials, often within 90 minutes.

You walk out with a fully restored tooth—in just one visit.

Why Patients Love It

Here’s what patients in Roseville are saying about same-day crowns:

– No temporary crown mishaps – No risk of it falling off or feeling uncomfortable
– No second appointment – Less time off work or away from family
– Natural look and feel – Digitally matched for seamless appearance
– Durability – Made with the same strong materials as traditional crowns

It’s fast, it’s efficient, and it’s changing the way people think about dental restorations.

Is It Right for You?

Same-day crowns are ideal for:
– Cracked or broken teeth
– Large fillings that need extra support
– Cosmetic enhancements to improve shape or color
– Replacing old metal crowns with more natural-looking options

If you’ve been putting off a dental restoration because of time or hassle, now is the perfect time to come in for a consultation.
