Everywhere you look now, dental offices seem to be talking about speed and convenience, like quick turnarounds are part of everyday life. It reminds me of how lots of services changed once people got used to doing things faster and in one visit instead of several.

Honestly, I tried a same-day crown last year and went in pretty skeptical. Sitting there while a machine carved my crown felt futuristic and slightly weird. I didn’t pick the place because of ads or tech hype; I just browsed around local info, including listings like Dentists in Fort Mohave, AZ to see what real clinics were nearby. For me, the crown has held up fine so far, though the appointment felt longer than I expected. Still, walking out without a temporary was kind of a relief, even if I’m not convinced it’s for everyone.
