I made an appointment for an emergency situation a molar had chipped and part of an old had fallen out. The initial assessment was that I would need to be fitted for a porcelain crown, entailing today`s visit and a fitting two weeks later.\r
But after removing the remnants of the old filling and taking x-rays, Louis F Rose, DDS, MD felt that he could digitally mold a new ceramic crown and successfully bond it to the remaining molar in a little over an hour, using an in-house machine.\r
I got to watch the precision molding of my new crown and so far am very impressed the fitting, color, and timing. The equipment was new to me but evidently has been in use over the past nine years.\r

Of course, time will tell, but at this point I`m delighted with the proceedure and results.
