The Economics of Same-Day Crowns: Why the Perfit OVIS Is a Smart Investment

Written by Joe Andrasko | October 7, 2025

Efficiency is profitability. That's why many doctors are turning to "same-day crowns" as a game-changer in terms of operational control and, importantly, efficiency. 

Enter the Perfit Ovis, distributed exclusively in the U.S. by Voxel Dental.

Doctor, this is not just another milling system—it’s an economic accelerator for practices ready to embrace same-day dentistry. From eliminating lab fees to freeing up chair time, the financial benefits are as compelling as the clinical ones.

1. Same-Day Crowns = Same-Day Profitability

One of the most powerful features of the Perfit Ovis is its speed.

With the ability to produce:

  • e.max crowns in as little as 10 minutes

  • sintered zirconia restorations in just 14 minutes

This eliminates the traditional multi-visit crown workflow, freeing up chair time and reducing patient no-shows or cancellations.

Economic impact:

  • Patients save time – no need for multiple visits or temporaries.
  • Doctors save time – each same-day crown frees up chair time for additional patients.
  • Revenue increases – more treatment accepted and completed in fewer visits.

Same-day dentistry is not just a clinical buzzword—it’s an economic differentiator.

2. Cost Savings: Manufacturing Crowns In-House

Traditionally, every crown sent to a lab costs $100–$200 or more.

With the Perfit Ovis, doctors can manufacture crowns themselves, at a fraction of that cost.

  • Traditional Lab Crown: $150 average fee.

  • In-House Perfit Ovis Crown: ~$30–$50 in consumables and overhead.

  • Savings per unit: ~$100.

Multiply that by 20 crowns a month, and you’re saving ~$2,000/month or $24,000/year—not including the added production value of freed-up chair time.

3. Patient-Centered Economics: Convenience Builds Loyalty

Patients value their time as much as their money.

Offering same-day crowns:

  • Reduces patient time off work and childcare costs.

  • Creates a premium experience that differentiates your practice.

  • Leads to higher referrals and patient retention.

One satisfied patient who avoids a second visit often tells five friends about it—an invaluable form of free marketing.

4. Doctor-Centered Economics: More Patients, More Production

Every hour spent on re-seating patients for a crown delivery is an hour not spent on new treatment.

The Perfit Ovis eliminates the second appointment, allowing practices to:

  • Fill schedules with additional high-value cases.

  • See more new patients.

  • Increase overall productivity without working longer hours.

In other words, the Perfit Ovis saves doctor time and money while increasing revenue opportunities.

5. ROI: The Numbers Add Up

  • 20 crowns/month

  • $100 savings per crown (lab vs. in-house)

  • Annual savings: $24,000

  • Added revenue from freed-up chair time: $20,000+

Total ROI: $40,000–$50,000 per year.
Most practices see the Perfit Ovis pay for itself in under 18 months.

6. The Competitive Edge of Same-Day Dentistry

Digital workflows are no longer “the future”—they’re the standard.

By offering same-day crowns, practices position themselves as leaders in innovation and patient experience. Meanwhile, those relying on traditional lab workflows risk being left behind.

Conclusion: Smart Economics, Stronger Practice

The Perfit Ovis transforms the economics of dentistry.

By reducing lab costs, boosting chair efficiency, and enabling same-day dentistry, it saves patients money and time while maximizing profitability for the doctor.

It’s more than just a milling machine—it’s an investment in your practice’s growth.
