Overview
Same-Day Crowns with FastMill.io Technology
At Avalon Dental Center in Cambridge, MA, we are proud to offer same-day dental crowns using FastMill.io technology, allowing patients to restore damaged teeth quickly and conveniently—often in just one visit.
Traditional crowns typically require multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and weeks of waiting for a dental laboratory. With our advanced digital workflow and in-office FastMill.io milling system, we can design, create, and place a custom crown during the same appointment, helping you get back to your life faster.
Using digital scans instead of messy impressions, we create a highly accurate 3D model of your tooth. Your crown is then milled from high-quality ceramic material and customized to match the shape, fit, and appearance of your natural teeth.

Custom crown
Once the tooth is fully prepared, the custom crown will be cemented into place. Dental crowns allow teeth to function normally with an attractive appearance.

Tooth impression
Then the impression of your teeth is sent to a dental lab so that a custom crown can be fabricated out of porcelain materials. Same-day crowns are available as well!
01
Tooth Preparation
In order to prepare for a crown, the original tooth is filed down to make room. Your dentist will work to ensure as much of the original tooth structure is preserved as possible.
