I have made crowns for 30 years and to this day I don't know one that makes one him self. Back in the day some old World war Two dentists made gold crowns their self, and that was all. In school they made a few and thats about it. Now in dental school most don't even have to do that!

So, are you saying that the impressions are sent to a local lab, who then will send them overseas and that’s why it takes a week or more?

My dentist has a neat computer set up that really makes a great crown. Plus if you break a crown since he made it he makes you a new one FREE. I like getting my crown the same day and not having to wear a temporary crown that almost always comes off before the next visit to have the outside crow placed. He said he is one of only a few in Arkansas who make their own. I think the computer and set up was very expensive but he is already rich and likes the artistic aspect.
