Permanent Crown in One Visit
No Temporaries. No Grinding to a “Stub.”
Next Appointment Available: CALL NOW
Your Schedule Doesn’t Have a “Two-Week Gap”
A missing crown is a crisis that stops your life. You have meetings, travel, and a family that depends on you. In a traditional dental office, you are forced into a “holding pattern”: a messy impression, a fragile plastic “temporary” that hurts and often falls off, and a two-week wait while a lab in another state mills your tooth.
We have eliminated the wait. At DayOne, we provide a 1-Visit Permanent Ceramic solution designed for the modern professional. We don’t do temporaries because temporaries are liabilities—they leak, they fail, and they waste your time.
We are fully staffed 7 days a week, 7AM-6PM, with a live triage team answering calls 24/7. We finish your rescue the same day you walk in.
Save Your Tooth. Avoid the “Stub.”
Most patients dread the “Fear of the Drill.” Traditional crowns require grinding 70% of your healthy tooth structure into a small “stub” just so the crown can be cemented on. This destructive process often leads to the very root canals and extractions you are trying to avoid.
At DayOne, we utilize the SprintRay Midas System. This allows us to practice Biomimetic Dentistry—a level of care that 90% of traditional offices haven’t adopted yet. Instead of aggressive grinding, we use:
- 70% Ceramic-Filled Hybrid: A material that mimics the strength and flexibility of a natural tooth.
- Adhesive Bonding: Molecular fusion that allows us to “add back” only what is missing (Inlays/Onlays) rather than encasing the whole tooth.
- Supragingival Margins: We keep the edge of your restoration above the gum line, preventing inflammation and protecting your natural foundation.
“Missing crown? Skip the temporary. Get a permanent Midas Ceramic restoration in one visit.”
Protecting Your Entire Mouth
Traditional ceramic crowns like Zirconia are incredibly hard—often *too* hard. They act like a “hammer” against your other teeth, grinding down your healthy enamel and potentially causing bone loss or fractures in opposing teeth.
Our 70% ceramic-filled restorations act as a Biological Shock Absorber. This material has a “modulus of elasticity” nearly identical to natural dentin. It flexes with your bite, absorbing the force rather than transferring it to your jaw or the tooth root.
This protects your long-term health by preventing fracture lines and ensuring your natural teeth don’t wear down prematurely. It feels like a tooth, not a rock.

DayOne is a Surgical Sanctuary designed for immediate, high-fidelity results. We combine the world’s most advanced 3D printing technology with two decades of clinical hand-skill. When you walk in with a broken tooth, you aren’t just getting a “patch”—you are engaging a surgical team focused on conserving every millimeter of your natural tooth structure.
Case Study: No Time for Failure
The Presentation Crisis
A patient from Orlando lost their front large front tooth filling on a Saturday afternoon. They had a massive client presentation on Monday morning. Their regular dentist was closed, and an ER visit would have only resulted in a bill and a referral.
The on-site lab Rescue: They called our 24/7 line and were seen at 8:00 AM Sunday. Using our 3D printing system, Dr. Bergquist designed a conservative Ceramic Onlay. We preserved the healthy tooth structure, bonded the restoration, and the patient was home by 10:30 AM. They presented on Monday with a permanent, natural-feeling smile. One visit. Zero temporaries. No “stubs.”
Emergency Crown FAQ
How is bonding different from cement?
Cement only fills the space and needs friction to hold the restoration, so a long part of the tooth must be prepared for the friction to work. Bonding is like a weld—it fuses the ceramic to your tooth at a molecular level. This is why we don’t have to grind your tooth into a “stub” to make it stay.
Are 3D-printed Midas crowns permanent?
Yes. The Midas system is FDA-cleared for permanent, long-term use. Its high ceramic content ensures durability while its resin matrix provides the “shock absorber” benefits that protect your mouth.

The 1-Hour Crown
The Shift to CAD/CAM Monolithic Restorations
1. Clinical Overview
A Paradigm Shift
The traditional “two-week” crown is rapidly becoming an artifact of the past. For decades, patients were forced to endure messy impression materials, wear fragile plastic temporaries, and return for a second injection of anesthesia weeks later. Today, our clinic utilizes the Shining 3D and SprintRay digital ecosystem to entirely bypass the physical impression and temporary crown phase.
By leveraging high-definition intraoral optical scanning and on-site additive manufacturing (3D printing), we provide a definitive, permanent lab-quality restoration in a single clinical appointment. This process isn’t just about speed or convenience; it’s fundamentally about the superior marginal fit, structural integrity, and biological seal achieved through uncompromising digital precision.
2. The Procedure Protocol
A Streamlined 60-Minute Workflow
Divided into two distinct, high-precision phases.
⚡ Phase 1: 15 Minutes
Digital Acquisition via Shining 3D ELF
Using the cutting-edge Shining 3D ELF optical scanner, we capture a flawless 3D digital “twin” of your dentition. This entirely eliminates the need for “goopy,” gag-inducing polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impressions. The AI-powered software maps the topography of your mouth, identifying the “margin line” with a micron-level accuracy that traditional analog materials and human hands simply cannot replicate.
⚙️ Phase 2: 45 Minutes
Precision Fabrication via SprintRay Midas
Once the digital design is perfected chairside, the blueprint is transmitted directly to our SprintRay Midas in-office unit. This specialized digital “press” utilizes advanced additive technology to build your custom crown from a highly-filled ceramic resin. Because the system is optimized for the Midas workflow, the restoration possesses incredible anatomical detail and smoothness, ready to be seated immediately after a rapid curing cycle.
3. Candidacy & Diagnostics
Ensuring Structural Integrity
Diagnostic imaging is paramount to ensure the remaining tooth structure can support the 3D-printed ceramic restoration.
Patients requiring structural reinforcement due to fractured legacy amalgam fillings, recent root canal therapy, or significant carious lesions (decay).
We primarily utilize SprintRay Ceramic Crown resin, a FDA-cleared material with over 70% ceramic filler, designed to mimic the natural translucency and wear-resistance of human enamel.
4. Recovery & Longevity
High-Strength Clinical Science
Our success lies in the material science: specifically, the high-density polymerization and flexural strength of the Midas system.
🛡️ Unmatched Durability:
Unlike fragile bis-acryl temporaries, our 3D-printed ceramic restorations are engineered to withstand the intense forces of human mastication, providing long-term functional stability.
🚫 No “Second Numbing”:
Because the permanent restoration is bonded immediately, the dentin is sealed instantly, reporting vastly reduced post-operative sensitivity compared to traditional methods.
5. Technical Specs
The SprintRay & Shining 3D Advantage
We eliminate the traditional “Communication Gap” between the prescribing dentist and the lab by using a fully integrated digital workflow.
🎯 High-Fidelity Polymerization
Traditional impressions shrink. The SprintRay Midas system calculates exact volumetric accuracy so the crown fits with passive perfection on the very first try.
🌿 Advanced Biocompatibility
Our 3D-printed ceramic materials are 100% metal-free and biocompatible, polished to resist plaque and promote healthy, pink gingival tissue.
6. The Science of Adhesion
Why Our 1-Hour Crowns Don’t “Pop Off”
Many offices simply “glue” a crown and hope for the best; we adhere to a strict, multi-step biomimetic sequence to guarantee decades of retention.
🔗 Isolation & Fusion
We use elite resin cements formulated to chemically fuse the ceramic to your natural dentin, creating a hermetic seal against bacteria.
🌪️ Air Abrasion (Micro-Etching)
Before bonding, we micro-etch the crown interior with aluminum oxide. This creates millions of microscopic “hooks” for the cement to lock onto.
✨ Prophylactic Debridement
We mechanically scrub the tooth using non-fluoridated pumice to strip away the debris layer that actively interferes with the chemical bond.
🧘 Clinical Desensitization
We saturate the tooth with Gluma to permanently seal the microscopic nerve tunnels, ensuring your tooth feels perfectly natural and pain-free.
🧪 Chemical Decontamination
Saliva is the enemy of a bond. We deploy specialized cleaning agents to strip away phosphate proteins so the chemical bond is 100% pure.
