Can someone explain the 3D scanning and milling process? I heard specialists now use digital workflows to design and create ceramic restorations on-site. Is the final placement truly done the same day?

The same-day crown process replaces messy manual molds with a high-tech digital workflow. First, your dentist uses an intraoral camera to create a precise 3D digital scan of your tooth. Specialized CAD software then designs the restoration to fit your bite perfectly. Once the design is ready, an on-site milling machine carves the crown from a solid ceramic block in about 20 minutes. After a quick glaze and polish, the final placement is performed—all within a single appointment.
