Modeless Crown FAQ

Shikosha’s Modeless posterior crowns, available in Classic and Premium Zirconia, are fabricated in just 4 working days thanks to advanced technology that enables our techs to fabricate crowns without traditional analog models, saving in both time and cost. ✨

OVerview:

  1. Modeless/digitally designed

  2. Turnaround is 4 working days

  3. Single-unit

  4. Posterior

  5. Classic or Premium zirconia

  6. Lower cost (no model/die prep fee)

What to Expect:

  1. The 4-day turnaround time does not include pick-up, delivery, or shipping days. Digital files must be received by 12pm on the first day to meet the 4-day turnaround.

  2. Posterior crowns only: Anterior crowns require more time due to a higher degree of artistry. 

  3. Contacts: With modeless crowns, contacts are generally on the tighter side. To help us fabricate accurate contacts, please ensure that contacts are parallel and prep margins are narrower than the adjacent marginal ridges. To ensure consistent results, we’ll ask for feedback on your first 4-5 units to optimize our communication and your preferences.

  4. Occlusion: To reduce occlusal adjustments, we’ll create the restoration slightly out of occlusion (0.2-0.3mm), depending on your preferences.


Please note that we are unable to accept subgingival margins at this time.

How to Send Digital Cases:

Send digital cases through your scanner system portal (we accept files from all systems) or email files to files@shikosha.com.
