Restorative dental procedures that provide a permanent prosthetic tooth covering in a single appointment are now available in the San Francisco area. These treatments utilize advanced digital scanning and on-site milling technology to expedite the creation and fitting of customized dental crowns. For example, an individual requiring a crown due to a cracked or decayed tooth can receive a precisely fitted, permanent crown in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments.
The expediency of this restorative approach offers several advantages. Patients benefit from reduced treatment time, minimizing disruption to their schedules. The elimination of temporary crowns reduces the risk of complications associated with their dislodgement or breakage. Historically, crown placement required multiple weeks, with patients wearing temporary restorations. This contemporary approach streamlines the process, enhancing patient convenience and overall treatment efficiency.
