Midas offers revolutionary Digital Press Stereolithography (DPS) technology that allows patients to design and print up to 3 definitive crowns in just 10 minutes. This technology combines advanced digital imaging with on-site treatment to deliver permanent, high-quality crowns in a single visit, without the need for second appointments or temporary crowns. An intraoral camera is used to photograph the tooth, and the picture is loaded onto the computer. Using Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology the image is transformed into a three-dimensional model. This makes it possible to easily calculate appropriate restoration shape and size to create a near-perfect restoration. When the model is ready, a milling machine creates the restoration using a high-speed diamond bur and calculated precision. The restoration is then bonded to the tooth using a resin material. The result is a beautiful restoration made to fit your mouth perfectly.
How does Midas Same-Day Crown Technology work? The process typically involves several key steps: • Digital Impression: Instead of messy traditional molds, your dentist will use a small, handheld scanner to create a precise 3D digital image of your tooth. • Crown Design: Using sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) software, your dentist will design your new crown right in front of you, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. • On-Site Milling: Once the design is complete, the digital file is sent to an in-office milling unit (CAM - computer-aided manufacturing). This unit precisely carves your new crown from a high-quality ceramic block. • Placement: After the crown is milled and polished, your dentist will bond it permanently to your tooth, completing the procedure in a single appointment. What are the benefits of Midas Same-Day Crowns? • Convenience: The most significant advantage is getting your crown in a single visit, saving you time and multiple trips to the dentist. • Comfort: No need for temporary crowns, which can sometimes be uncomfortable or fall out. • Accuracy: Digital impressions and computer-aided design lead to highly precise and well-fitting crowns. • Aesthetics: Midas crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are shade-matched to your existing teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. • Durability: Midas crowns are designed to be strong and long-lasting, similar to traditional lab-fabricated crowns. • Biocompatibility: The ceramic materials used are generally well-tolerated by the body. Is Midas Same-Day Crown Technology suitable for everyone? Midas technology is suitable for most patients needing a single crown. However, in some complex cases (e.g., extensive bridgework or very unique bite issues), a traditional lab-fabricated crown might still be recommended. Your dentist will assess your specific needs and determine if a Midas same-day crown is the best option for you. What materials are Midas Same-Day Crowns made from? Midas crowns are typically made from high-quality ceramic materials, such as porcelain or zirconia. These materials are known for their strength, durability, and natural appearance. How long do Midas Same-Day Crowns last? With proper care and good oral hygiene, Midas same-day crowns can last for many years, often 10-15 years or even longer. Their lifespan is comparable to that of traditional crowns. Does insurance cover Midas Same-Day Crowns? Most dental insurance plans that cover traditional crowns will also cover Midas same-day crowns. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific policy. It's always best to check with your insurance provider and your dentist's office to understand your benefits.
