Same-day Crowns and Retainers in Sandy

Using SprintRay Pro 2

At Aura Dental Sandy, we use the SprintRay Pro 2, one of the most advanced dental 3D printers available, to design, print, and fit your crown or retainer in a single visit. No temporary restorations, no return appointments: just a precise, long-lasting result before you leave the practice.

From Scan to Smile in a Single Appointment

Using digital impressions and AI-assisted crown design, we can map, design, and 3D print your restoration in the same visit. No moulds, no temporary crowns, and no waiting weeks for a lab to send something back.

Key Benefits of SprintRay

One Appointment, Fully Sorted

No temporary restorations, no return visits. Your crown or retainer is designed, printed, and fitted on the same day, so you can get on with your life.

Precision You Can Count On

Our SprintRay Pro 2 prints at 35 micron resolution, meaning every restoration is shaped to fit your tooth exactly, with the accuracy and detail that traditional methods simply can't match at speed.

Durable, Natural-Looking Results

We use ceramic-filled materials that are built to last and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Strong enough for everyday use, and designed to look like nothing was ever wrong.

No Lab, No Waiting, No Surprises

Everything is done in-house at our Sandy practice. That means faster turnaround, tighter quality control, and no delays caused by third-party labs or lost impressions.

Scan. Design. Print. Fit.

Is Same-Day Dentistry Right for You?

Same-day crowns and retainers aren’t just about convenience, they’re a genuinely better option for a wide range of patients. If any of the following sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

  • You've been putting off dental treatment because you can't face multiple appointments

  • You have a busy schedule and need a solution that fits around work or family

  • You've lost or damaged a crown and need it replaced quickly

  • You want a retainer made and fitted without the usual back-and-forth with a lab

How long does a same-day crown or retainer appointment actually take?

Most appointments take between 90 minutes and two hours from start to finish. This includes your digital scan, the design process, printing, and fitting. You’re welcome to relax, read, or catch up on your phone while your restoration is being printed.

Is a 3D printed crown as strong as a traditional one?

Yes. We use ceramic-filled materials that meet the same clinical standards as lab-made crowns. They’re designed for everyday use, resistant to wear, and built to last, without any compromise on aesthetics or durability.

Will my crown or retainer look natural?

Absolutely. Your restoration is colour-matched and shaped to blend with your surrounding teeth. The materials we use are designed to mimic the appearance of natural enamel, so the result is both functional and virtually invisible.

Is same-day dentistry suitable for everyone?

It’s suitable for the vast majority of crown and retainer cases. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your teeth and let you know whether same-day treatment is the right option for you. In some complex cases, a traditional approach may still be recommended.

How do I book a same-day crown or retainer appointment?

Simply get in touch with our Sandy practice by phone or through our website. We’ll talk you through what’s involved, answer any questions, and find an appointment time that works for you.
