Dental Crowns done in single visit-Anyone done this?

I am very interested in the new 1 step crown process done by some dentist. I hate living with a temporary for 2 weeks-especially when they come off!! Anyone that has done the 1 step crown please tell me of your experience and how much it cost. Thanks!!

Yes I just graduated dental school and I had a couple of patients that we used this process on. It is called a Cerac machine. After your tooth is prepped, instead of taking an impression, a scanner is used to take an image of your tooth. It is sent to the computer which digitally constructs a crown for your tooth which can be modified by the dentist to make sure it will be right. After that is selected, the data is sent to a machine that mills your new crown out of a block of porcelain. This process takes about 45 minutes. I would recommend only getting these types of crowns for you back teeth. They only have three different colors of porcelain, (unless the new model has more) which would mean that is very unlikely that the color would match up with your teeth in the front where you can tell. I'm not sure about the cost, but it should be around the regular crown price. Hope this helps.
Reply:I had a crown done 6 months or so ago and it wasnt all that bad, The temporary I had was pretty solid i had it for a month! And it probably could have been longer! Without knowing which tooth it is its hard to give a real accurate answer,but i think mine cost me 160 out of pocket and insurance i believe only covered half of crowns for me, so that would put it at around 300$ Your dentist should be able to give you a pretty durable temporary if its going to be a while before you can get the permanent crown, I think all together it will cost at least 500$ for a crown..
