Dr. Sam, Angela DDS, Nebula D: would you recommend going to offices that offer "1 hour crowns"?

i'm a dental istant and we use the CEREC technology in our office. Our patients love it. The procedure usualy takes over an hour but either way, its still a single visit. We're not comfortable with doing huge cosmetic cases in the anterior of the mouth as the shades of porcelain offered aren't great shades for front teeth. All of our other restorations looks great as we are able to stain and glaze the porcelain in our furnace. We also use the CEREC to do inlays and onlays to replace large silver fillings. Patients also love watching us design the restorations that we'll be putting in their mouth. They're just as good as any other crown you recieve from a lab, if not better since the dentist can control the contours and overall design of the restoration.
