When it comes to dental restorations, durability is a key concern for many patients. If you're considering CEREC crowns, you might be wondering how long they can last. Let's delve into this topic and provide you with the information you need.
CEREC, or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a revolutionary technology that allows dentists to fabricate and place ceramic dental crowns in a single appointment. This removes the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits, saving you time and inconvenience.
But how durable are CEREC crowns? Can they stand the test of time like traditional crowns? Let's explore.
With proper care, CEREC crowns can last as long as traditional crowns. On average, they can last between 10 to 15 years, and even longer with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Factors that can affect the lifespan of your CEREC crown include:
To maintain the longevity of your CEREC crown, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental cleanings and exams.
Moreover, avoiding hard or sticky foods can prevent damage to your crown. It's also recommended to wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night.
Beyond their durability, CEREC crowns offer several other benefits. They offer a precise fit, natural look, and the convenience of a single visit. Plus, they don't require any uncomfortable dental impressions.
So, if you're looking for a durable, aesthetic, and convenient dental restoration, CEREC crowns could be an excellent choice for you.
