One Visit Inlays and Crowns are now available with CEREC AC CAD CAM technology!
The process of repairing a tooth with procelain crowns (caps), veneers, or porcelain fillings (Inlays) is now possible in only one visit using the latest in CAD/CAM technology. Previous methods required two appointments with temporary crowns and gooey molds of the damaged tooth.
Now, a camera captures a digital picture image of the tooth to be repaired and a computer creates a 3 dimensional virtual model of the tooth. Specialized computer software is used to design the virtual replacement crown/veneer/filling and is then milled from a porcelain block.
The crowns, veneers and porcelain inlays (fillings) can be custom colored and shaded to match your existing teeth as closely as possible. The entire process takes between 45 minutes to two hours depending on the complexity of your teeth.

The benefits of One Visit Crowns:
- You only need one appointment so you are only numb for one visit! NO Longer will you have to have anesthetic for a second cementation apppointment!
- No more Temporary Crowns! No longer do you have to wear plastic temporaries with their sensitivity and need for recementation when they come off!
- It saves your valuable time! Cutting in half the need for time off work, child care, or just the "plain headache" required to have your tooth repaired.
- The cost is the same as the old 2 visit, old fashioned types of crowns and veneers! However porcelain fillings (Inlays) cost slightly more than the old silver or plastic fillings.
