How Long Do CEREC Dental Crowns Last?

If you have a tooth that is too weak or damaged to be repaired with a simple dental filling, we may recommend a dental crown. Here at Wells Family Dental Group, we are pleased to offer CEREC same day crowns. With CEREC same day crowns, you can receive your treatment in one day and get on with your busy life.

Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing are two technologies used to create CEREC dental crowns. We’ll start by using a special camera to take a clear picture of your weak or damaged tooth. Then, we’ll transfer the image and display it on a color screen so that your crown can be designed. Once your crown is complete, it will be bonded to the surface of your old tooth.

Most CEREC crowns last between 10 and 15 years. Of course, if you grind or clench your teeth or fail to brush and floss them regularly, the lifespan of a CEREC crown may be significantly reduced.

If you are frequently grind or clench your teeth, we can suggest a nightguard to ensure your CEREC crown lasts for as long as possible. Rest assured a nightguard will not prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep as we will help you find one that ideal for your particular mouth.
