Super friendly and accommodating. I was a new patient and they got me in within a few hours. Very professional.
You can walk into our office with a damaged tooth and walk out the same day with a strong, natural-looking e.max crown already in place. IPS e.max is a lifelike ceramic material milled with advanced digital scanning technology. Using our CEREC system, Dr. Fugate designs, crafts, and places your custom crown in one visit.
Same-day dental crowns in Vonore offer real benefits for your smile:
Ready to fix your tooth without the wait? Call Vonore Dental today at 423-520-6278 to schedule an appointment.
Your same-day crown starts with a digital scan of your tooth, not a messy putty mold. Vonore Dental uses CEREC technology to capture exact images of your smile in minutes. We design your crown using this data and mill it from a solid block of e.max ceramic, right in our office.
Here’s what your visit looks like from start to finish:
This whole process takes place in one appointment, usually in one to two hours. You won’t need a follow-up visit to place a final crown, and you won’t have to wear a temporary restoration that can feel bulky or come loose.
IPS e.max is known for its strength and its ability to mimic the natural look of your teeth. Its translucent quality reflects light the way real enamel does, so your one-visit crown blends in rather than standing out. Combined with CEREC’s speed and precision, this treatment gives you strong, natural-looking results without multiple trips to our office.

Excellent staff and dentist!
Dr. Fugate and all of the staff were amazing! Such a friendly environment and great care !
First visit. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Emily, the hygienist, was thorough way beyond expectations. Dr. Fugate offered timely and useful information that my previous dentist never mentioned. I was impressed on every level.
Professional and polite – the employees love their work and their boss.
Just had another uneventful (that’s a good thing!) routine checkup at Vonore Dental. Hannah (RDH) did a cleaning quick checkup (that was all that was required this time). She was able to take me early, which was good because I had a busy day. Another good experience.
I’m always happy with the results and service !
My husband sees Dr. Eric Fugate, a dentist in Vonore a few mile from Maryville. The staff is friendly and helpful. The office is clean. The wait to see the doctor was short. Very professional office.
Staff is great. I will be making them my go to Dentist office.
Very professional and friendly team. I have used Vonore Dental for 25+ years.
Having an urgent matter some up and Dr. Fugate was on vacation last week, however I was given the first available appointment with the promise to call if something opened up. I arrived early, but they took me right in within a couple of minutes. They have always been very accommodating, friendly and thorough.
Awesome job done by everyone! Thanks 🙂
They are everything they advertise.
Appointment right on time. Friendly staff. Knowledgeable personnel. Latest technology …. Appt always on time. Very pleasant staff. During normal 6 mo check up, a loose crown was discovered and corrected during the same visit. Very much appreciated
Very good experience at Vonore Dental. The staff were all very friendly, and Dr. Fugate was friendly and professional. I definitely recommend Vonore Dental and Dr. Fugate.

Service was very good and I am well satisfied. Work was professionally done in a timely manner. I have no problem recommending this practice for your dental care.
Recent visit to Vonore Dental was my normal 6 months check-up, cleaning & x-rays. The visit started on time and was completed faster than I remembered with previous visits. Next 6 months check-up is scheduled. The office staff and dental assistants respect my time usage.
Everything went good…
My husband had a very old crown replaced, and it was a quite involved process. Couldn’t be happier with the whole visit.
Every appointment is like going to visit friends. After years of suffering, Dr Fugate and his team have put my teeth back together and better than ever. Thanks!
I always like going here.. everyone is very nice
Good experience all away around

Dr. Fugate and his team are great. They are consummate professionals and do an excellent job. I would highly recommend them.
Dr. Fugate and his staff are top notch. Just the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. Thanks Dr. Fugate and Hannah!

Very professional and friendly office and dr Fugate is nice toi
This Dentist took me in on somewhat emergency basis since I was out of town but when I arrived at the office I was treated as if I had been a patient of theirs for years. They could not have been more welcoming, and the dentist could not have been more professional and helpful. It is a shame that I don’t live nearby. Sincerely, William Smith
Dr. Eric and the staff at Vonore Dental were very friendly and professional. Hygienist was excellent as well. Highly recommend this practice.
Excellent experience !
Very professional. Dr. Fugate doesn’t push you into a procedure. He tells you like it is: advantages, disadvantages, what will likely happen if you don’t, etc. Very honest, caring, and thorough.
My visits are always pleasant and I highly recommend Vonore Dental
I have been a patient at Vonore Dental for many years. The entire staff is knowledgeable, professional and very kind.
I had an emergency when one of my crowns detached. Dr. Fugate could make room for me that day and solved the problem quickly and painlessly. Who could ask for anything more?
Dr Fugate as well as all his staff are one of the best dental staffs I have had in both Georgia and Tennessee. Dr. Fugate is very concerned with the procedures he is doing—a no non-sense guy and yet very pleasant and takes time to talk with his patient. I am thankful to have Vonore Dental and Dr. Fugate.
Excellent staff & service!
Everyone at vonore dental are very pleasant. Hanah did a great job in cleaning my teeth
Dr. Fugate and staff are absolutely amazing. Dr. Fugate is an extremely competent dentist with a wonderful bedside manner that immediately makes you feel that you are in good hands. He takes time to explain what procedure he’s is going to do and answers any questions that you may have i am eternally grateful for the kindness and care he has given me. The staff at his office are some of the most caring and helpful people that I have ever met . I am a 100 percent disabled Vietnam veteran, and the staff has gone to the ends of the earth to help me . Words can not express how humbled and grateful I am to them. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU FOR EVERTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME. I highly recommended Vonre Dental.
Dr Eric Fugate, Hannah, ( woman who checks and cleans my teeth), and the whole dental team are welcoming, efficient and provide top level dental care.
Great prompt friendly service. Excellent care!!!
Great dentist to go for check ups at ?
The hygienist, Emily, was very friendly and did a great job of examining and cleaning my teeth. She’s comprehensive and provides good feedback.
The dental hygienist, Hannah, was absolutely amazing. The whole office was professional and prompt. I would definitely recommend.
Great team
Great visit, especially for my first visit. Hannah, my Hygienist was amazing. Dr. Fugate was very kind, and welcoming. I enjoyed my visit!!
I recently moved to the area. My previous dentist in another town recommended Dr. Fugate. Even though his office is a 35-minute drive from where I now live, I wanted to follow up on the recommendation to see if we ‘clicked’. The dental hygienist was very friendly, very gentle yet thorough in her cleaning. She has a great personality and immediately puts you at ease. Dr. Fugate was very professional, answered any questions I had and was very thorough. The office is very welcoming, clean, friendly, and I’m happy to have found a new dentist in this area.
Doctor and staff always professional, friendly and efficient with up to date technology!
Staff is always pleasant and the work is great.
Very personable and excellent service
Annual check up with x-rays. Always so professional and positive experience. Highly recommend.
My visit to Vonore Dental was a very positive experience. Service was friendly, timely and professional. What more can you ask for? Thank you.
Just had another great bi-annual cleaning and checkup at Vonore Dental John Kosie
I came in for mouth pain. Dr. Fugate addressed my problem and gave me a few options on treatment. It was a very positive experience. I give you 5 stars!
Emily is great! In and out in no time.
Been going here for years and always a good experience. Super friendly staff and everyone is professional and courteous! You may surprised to find out they are out of your network, but even for uninsured people the prices for their services are very reasonable. Highly reccomended if you need dental work in and around Monroe County
I hated the dentist before I went to Vonore Dental! The staff and Dr. Fugate are amazing, sweet, kind and professional! Dr. Fugate gave me my smile back and I will forever be grateful❤️!
I was treated exceptionally good. My mouth has completely healed and im able to eat all the foods I love. I highly recommend Dr Fugate to all my friends. Thank you.
Normal cleaning–all good 👍
A same-day dental crown is a custom tooth restoration designed, milled, and placed in a single dental visit using digital scanning and milling technology. Instead of waiting weeks for a lab-made crown, patients receive a finished, final crown before leaving the office, eliminating the need for a temporary crown or a second appointment.
IPS e.max is a type of ceramic material known for its strength and lifelike, translucent appearance. It closely mimics the way natural tooth enamel reflects light, making crowns made from this material blend in naturally with surrounding teeth. Many dentists choose e.max for both front and back teeth because of its durability and appearance.
CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a system that uses digital scanning and computer-aided design to create dental restorations, like crowns, directly in the dental office. This technology removes the need for physical molds and outside dental labs, allowing crowns to be completed in a single visit.
Most same-day crown appointments take between one and two hours from start to finish. This includes preparing the tooth, taking digital scans, designing the crown, milling it from ceramic material, and bonding it in place. The exact time can vary depending on the tooth’s condition and the complexity of the restoration needed.
Crowns made from e.max material typically last at least five to seven years, though many hold up even longer with proper care. Their lifespan depends on factors like oral hygiene habits, diet, and whether you grind your teeth at night. Regular checkups and cleanings help catch any wear early so your crown continues to function well.
