The temp came off Friday afternoon. The patient flies out a week from Tuesday. The seat appointment is booked, and moving it costs you the chair twice. That is the rush crown case SnapFast is for.
The dates
Business days run Monday to Friday, counted from your scan to your door. A crown scanned Monday is due the Wednesday of the following week. Scanned Thursday, it is due the Monday after. A bridge scanned Monday is due the second Friday. The date is written on your case the day it arrives.
What qualifies
Zirconia and e.max crowns and bridges, up to three units per case, on digital scans. Anything else can still be rushed at 25% on top of the case price.
The honest cost
The $99 replaces the standard price; it does not stack. A $55 crown on SnapFast is $99, so the real decision is $44. A three-unit case is $297 instead of $165. If your seat date is three weeks out, standard turnaround (10 days on average, never longer than 14) already covers you.
Door to door, against the others
| Lab | Fastest published lane | What the days count |
|---|---|---|
| Snap Dental Labs | SnapFast: 7 business days for crowns, $99 a unit | Scan to your door. Shipping included. |
| Glidewell | Next-Day: scan by 2pm, delivered by 10:30am next day, $149 a unit. Standard BruxZir: 3 days | Next-Day includes overnight shipping. Standard days are in the lab; shipping and tax are extra. |
| NDX | Verotek FCZ Express: day 3, modeless posterior crowns, up to 2 units | Working days in the lab, not counting receipt, delivery, weekends or holidays. FedEx adds 2 days each way. |
| Dandy | 5-day turnaround | Requires a $1,000 to $2,500 monthly minimum. |
If you need a crown tomorrow, Glidewell's Next-Day is built for that: $149 a unit, overnight shipping included.
If you need it next week, SnapFast gives you a written date, scan to door, for $99 a unit. No monthly minimum, and shipping is already in the price.
When another lab quotes three days, that is lab time. Add transit, and add shipping to the price.
One thing restarts the clock
If we need an answer from you about the scan, the full 7 or 9 business days restart from the day you reply, and the new date is written on the case.
“They get to my office in a rapid time. They take all my scans, very little issues and problems.”
