Ceric One Crowns 
This amazing CAD-CAM technology allows us to fabricate crowns, inalays, and onlays, often in one visit! Instead of waiting 2-3 weeks for a lab fabricated restoration, the all porcelain restorations can be made in a single visit.
The tooth is prepared in the normal manner, but instead of a mouth full of impression material, the tooth is optically scanned with a special camera. The crown is then custom designed on a computer by Dr. Perry. Following the design, the restoration is milled from a solid block of porcelain. This milled block of porcelain is stronger than like materials that are fabricated in the traditional fashion. The milled restoration is then custom stained and glazed in our porcelain glazing oven. The final restoration is bonded to the remaining tooth structure in a perfectly life-like restoration – often times in only one appointment! The inconvenience of wearing a temporary restoration is eliminated. And that second appointment ot deliver the final restoration is no longer needed.
