10/07/2016 10:09

If you need crowns, you may feel apprehensive about a long process spread out over several appointments. While this situation is required with traditional crowns, it is not the case with CAD/CAM crowns. These crowns are manufactured on site by a computer-controlled machine, which offers precise results within a single visit. Below, you can read about the best candidates for crowns made with the CAD/CAM process.

Busy Patients

Patient’s with a full schedule are among those who may find same-day crowns appealing. Not only do these patients benefit from a short overall wait time, but they do not need to make multiple schedule changes to accommodate multiple appointments.

Patients Interested in Precision

Conventional crowns are made by hand and are unlikely to match the precision that a computer can provide. For patients keen on having crowns that look and feel as natural as possible, same-day crowns can easily be preferable.

Some patients are not good candidates for same-day crowns. In these cases, our dentist in San Francisco may recommend traditional crowns, which are also available. You can schedule a consultation with our dentist to learn more about same-day crowns and discuss candidacy for this treatment.
