CEREC same-day crowns last 10–15 years or more with proper care, which is comparable to traditional lab-made crowns. The high-quality ceramic material used in CEREC technology is incredibly durable and, when combined with Dr. Godla's precise digital techniques, creates restorations that can serve you well for decades.
Why Are Same-Day Crowns So Durable?
The beauty of CEREC technology is its precision. Unlike traditional crowns that rely on physical impressions and multiple steps, our digital process creates an exact fit using 3-D imaging and computer-guided milling. This precision means better margins, stronger bonds, and ultimately longer-lasting restorations.
Factors That Influence Crown Longevity
- Quality of the initial fit and bonding process
- Daily oral hygiene habits
- Frequency of regular dental checkups and cleanings
- Habits like teeth grinding or chewing ice
- The crowned tooth's location and function
Advantages of CEREC's Digital Process
- Perfect color matching to your natural teeth
- Superior marginal fit reduces the risk of decay
- Strong ceramic material resists wear and staining
- Same-day process eliminates temporary crown risks
