CEREC – Crown in an Hour

CEREC restorations are known for their durability and, with proper oral hygiene and care, can last many years. On average, a CEREC crown can last between 10 and 15 years, though some can last even longer. The lifespan can vary based on factors like oral hygiene habits, chewing practises, and regular dental check-ups.

Coverage can vary depending on your specific dental insurance plan. Many insurance companies treat CEREC restorations similarly to traditional restorations in terms of coverage. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance provider directly or let our administrative team assist you in understanding your benefits.

CEREC is an excellent solution for many restorative needs, but the best way to determine its suitability is through a consultation. At Coastal Dental, we’ll evaluate the condition of your teeth, understand your preferences, and recommend whether CEREC or another restoration method is best for you.

The CEREC procedure itself is minimally invasive and generally considered painless. However, depending on the specific treatment—like a crown placement after a root canal—some discomfort might be expected. At Coastal Dental, patient comfort is paramount, and we ensure local anaesthesia and other comfort measures are in place as required.

CEREC technology has been around for over 30 years and has undergone continual advancements in that time. It’s a trusted method in the dental community, backed by extensive research, studies, and successful patient outcomes. The materials used, like ceramic, are biocompatible and have been tested for safety and longevity.
