After over a decade in Japan, I am used to even minor dental work requiring 3-5 visits. In a miraculous change, zirconia crowns now take a single visit.
My particular backstory:
I had a terrible toothache, and three dentists failed to find the cause. Ultimately the culprit was infection inside a root canal. After having it fixed, I got a zirconia crown. It wasn’t covered by insurance, and cost 90,000 yen. But it looks great and is incredibly strong. And I didn’t have to visit the dentist five times.

Ain’t nothing here.
The posts in this sub become more and more boring every day.

You can get anything you want done in one day if you’re paying for it out of pocket. The whole reason there are so many visits required is that the insurance billing limits are too low to complete all the work at once.
