Dear Elliot<\/p>\n

\"Machine
CEREC Crowns are Milled by Computer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you’re talking about the longevity of crowns, it’s not as much whether you use CEREC or traditional. The length of time any crown lasts, regardless of the kind, depends on two factors\u2014the skill of the dentist and the habits of the patient.<\/p>\n

On the patient end, it’s important you keep up with your home care. Regular brushing and flossing are a must. The dentist has several responsibilities. They have to choose the right materials. They have to know the proper techniques for attaching the crown. Traditional crowns are cemented. CEREC crowns are bonded, which is a completely different (and more involved) technique.<\/p>\n

Two dentists can make the same crown. One will last five years; the other will last ten. It wasn’t a difference between the type of crown as much as the skill of the dentist. Don’t hesitate to ask your dentist how long his crowns typically last.<\/p>\n

The Differences Between CEREC and Traditional Crowns<\/h2>\n

There are two advantages to CEREC crowns<\/a>. The most obvious one is you can have all three of your crowns completed in one visit. Second, they’re milled by a computer which generally helps with their fit. They’re actually great for side teeth. Some cosmetic dentists don’t like placing them on front teeth because they’re milled from a single block of porcelain. In that case, they feel they can craft them better traditionally.<\/p>\n

Another weakness for CEREC crowns AND traditional all-porcelain crowns<\/a> are on back teeth. They can’t always hold up to the pressure of the biting forces your molars have to take. In that case, you’d want either a metal-based crown or a zirconia crown if you have any metal sensitivities.<\/p>\n

No matter what crown you choose. Once the crown is made, the color is permanent, so if you’ve been considering teeth whitening<\/a> be sure to do it before you get your crowns if they’re in a visible place. If they’re all back teeth, that won’t matter. You can get your crowns and then whiten later.<\/p>\n

Consider a Second Opinion<\/h2>\n

One thing you said bothered me. You mentioned your last checkup showed no signs of decay and suddenly you need three crowns. That sounds just a bit hinky to me. While it’s possible that you could have decay that spread quickly, if you get regular cleanings there should have been some sign of decay.<\/p>\n
