Yes - you can have a beautiful, strong, metal-free, porcelain crown done in ONE VISIT! No temporary crown, no second visit, no second time getting numb.....

The CEREC AC Bluecam is the newest, fastest, and most accurate CAD/CAM system available to dental offices today; it is truly the wave of the future, but you can have that future right now, and I'm really pleased to be able to offer you this really cool technology that makes dental work CONVENIENT for you!

The CEREC Bluecam allows us to create beautiful, very strong, all-porcelain crowns and onlays in just a single-visit.  This means no temporary crown or onlay that might come off at a convenient time, no second visit to get numb again for the real crown to be put in again, and you get an all-porcelain crown that fits just as well as one made in a professional dental laboratory. And come on.....do you really want to have to take off work a second time, get numb a second time, have that temporary crown? Seriously? HA! I thought so.......of course not. :-)

To be completely honest.......doing 1-Visit Crowns with my CEREC machine is FUN! I've had pretty extensive training in using the CEREC machine, and it is a lot like using Photoshop for picture editing. In fact, there are a lot of similarities.

The best part, though, patients tell me they think it is simply amazing to watch their brand new crown being made right in front of them. You can watch as I design it in the treatment room, and a lot of people sit in front of the chamber that mills out the porcelain in rapt fascination.

In addition, I am the President and Founder of the Charlotte CEREC Study Club, a local organization for dentists devoted to providing this service to their patients.
