Let’s dive in.
How long do CEREC crowns last?
On average, CEREC same-day crowns can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years because they’re sculpted out of durable ceramic.
Your crown’s lifespan will ultimately depend on your:
- Oral health routine
- Habits
- Diet
Oral health routine
To keep your crown and natural teeth in excellent condition:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day
- Floss at least once daily
- Visit your dentist for biannual check-ups
Habits
Try to break harmful habits like smoking cigarettes or using your teeth as tools.
Over time, using tobacco products will turn your smile an unsightly yellow color.
And using your teeth to bite your nails or open packaging can cause your crown to crack or pop off.
Diet
While CEREC same-day crowns are extremely stain-resistant, they eventually show signs of discoloration.
Limit your consumption of darkly colored foods and drinks, including:
- Coffee
- Tea
- Red wine
- Marinara sauce
- Barbecue sauce
- Soy sauce
- Highly-pigmented fruits (blueberries or pomegranates)
Are CEREC crowns as good as traditional crowns?
Many factors make CEREC a superior choice, such as:
- Quicker treatment time
- Save time and money
- Conservative approach
Quicker treatment time
With same-day crowns, you won’t have to wait for a dental lab to generate your permanent crown.
This means:
You don’t have to wear a temporary crown.
It’s crafted and placed right in your dentist’s office in a single visit!
But don’t let the convenience of CEREC fool you: They’re crafted with top-quality material.
Traditional crowns usually require two visits, taking about 2-3 weeks to create and place them.
Save time and money
Because you won’t need to make as many visits, you’ll save money on appointment costs and gas money.
And with less chair time, you’ll miss less time at work or school.
Conservative approach
Thanks to CEREC technology, your dentist can preserve more of your healthy tooth structure than with traditional crowns.
Why is that?
Because digital technology allows the dentist to be more precise and accurate in crafting your crown.
How much do same-day crowns cost?
The average price of a same-day crown in the United States is roughly $1000 – $1500.
Most insurance policies cover a portion of the cost of same-day crowns.
Additionally, some dental practices offer financing plans to make your treatment more affordable.
