Just for informational purposes, 95% of the crowns I have made in the last year and a half are all porcelain, with no metal understructure. These crowns are made in the office, in one visit using CAD-CAM technology. No impressions and no temporary crowns. These crowns are called CEREC crowns. I started using this technology right after returning back to work after my surgery.
