Across dentistry, expectations are changing. Patients want fewer appointments, faster treatment, and predictable outcomes—and practices are responding by bringing more workflows in-house. One of the clearest shifts we’re seeing is the rapid adoption of same-day crowns and single-visit dentistry powered by in-office milling.
At Voxel Dental, we work closely with practices at every stage of adoption, and the message from doctors is consistent: same-day dentistry isn’t just about speed—it’s about control, efficiency, and delivering a better experience for both patients and teams.
Here’s how three practices are using in-office milling to meet that demand.
For Jeffrey Dental in Valparaiso, Florida, same-day dentistry is about control and consistency.
By milling crowns in-house, their team eliminated long lab turnaround times and gained the ability to remill immediately if something isn’t perfect. Instead of waiting weeks for a remake, they can deliver a new crown in as little as 15–20 minutes, all during the same visit.
For a small, efficient practice, that speed matters—but what matters even more is how it changes the patient experience. Same-day crowns have become something patients now expect, and being able to meet that expectation without compromising quality has been a major advantage.
In Little Falls, New Jersey, Dr. Sonia Giordano was hearing the same thing many dentists are hearing today:
patients were asking about same-day dentistry.
Like many doctors, she had concerns about the learning curve—especially self-describing as “not very tech-friendly.” What changed everything was discovering that modern in-office milling workflows could be easy to learn, fast, and predictable with the right support.
With Voxel's guidance, Dr. Giordano quickly became comfortable delivering same-day crowns, with milling times consistently under 20 minutes. What once felt intimidating became approachable—and patient demand could finally be met without adding stress to the day.
For Dr. Paul Feldman, in-office milling has long been about single-visit dentistry.
He mills in-office specifically to make treatment more efficient and economical, with a clear goal: get patients in and out in about an hour and a half. That efficiency doesn’t just improve scheduling—it fundamentally changes how the practice runs.
Dr. Feldman also highlights something often overlooked when discussing technology: support matters. When questions came up, he knew they would be handled quickly, and he never felt like issues wouldn’t get taken care of. That reliability made the workflow easier to trust and easier to scale.
These stories point to a bigger trend happening across dentistry:
Patients increasingly expect fewer visits
Practices want more control over quality
Dentists are prioritizing efficiency and economics
Support and training are just as important as the technology itself
Same-day crowns aren’t about replacing labs—they’re about giving practices flexibility. The ability to mill, remill, and seat restorations in one visit reduces friction, increases predictability, and creates a better overall experience.
At Voxel Dental, our role goes beyond installing equipment. We help practices:
Choose the right in-office milling solution
Get comfortable with new workflows quickly
Stay supported long after installation day
As more dentists adopt same-day dentistry, one thing is clear: this isn’t a trend that’s slowing down. It’s becoming the new normal.
And for practices ready to meet patient expectations head-on, in-office milling is proving to be one of the most impactful ways to do it.
