7 Myths About CEREC Crowns—Debunked by Solana Beach Experts
If you need a dental crown but dread multiple visits and temporary restorations, CEREC same-day crowns may be the perfect solution. Del Mar Family Dentistry in Solana Beach, California, uses cutting-edge CEREC technology to restore smiles in a single visit. However, despite their growing popularity, several myths still surround CEREC crowns. Let’s set the record straight and debunk the most common misconceptions!
Myth #1: CEREC Crowns Aren’t as Durable as Traditional Crowns
Truth: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials that are equally strong as traditional lab-made crowns. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or more, offering long-term durability and protection for your tooth.
Myth #2: Same-Day Crowns Are Less Aesthetic
Truth: Many people believe that crowns made in a single visit can’t match the natural look of traditional crowns. CEREC crowns are custom-designed and shaded to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Myth #3: CEREC Crowns Take Too Long to Make
Truth: Some assume that same-day crowns require a long appointment. However, the entire process—from digital impressions to placement—takes just a few hours. This eliminates the need for multiple visits, saving you time and hassle.
Myth #4: CEREC Crowns Are Only for Front Teeth
Truth: While CEREC crowns are popular for restoring front teeth, they are also strong enough for back molars, where chewing forces are highest. Their durability and precise fit make them an excellent choice for any part of your mouth.
Myth #5: Temporary Crowns Are Necessary Before Getting a CEREC Crown
Truth: Unlike traditional crowns that require a temporary crown while waiting for a lab-made restoration, CEREC eliminates this step. You’ll leave our office with your permanent crown on the same day, reducing discomfort and inconvenience.
Myth #6: CEREC Technology Isn’t as Accurate as Lab-Made Crowns
Truth: CEREC crowns are designed using state-of-the-art 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology, ensuring a precise, custom fit. Many patients find that CEREC crowns fit better than those made in an external lab due to the accuracy of the digital scanning process.
Myth #7: Not All Dentists Offer CEREC Crowns
Truth: While not every dental practice has invested in CEREC technology, our office proudly offers this advanced treatment. Our expert team is trained in CEREC technology, ensuring efficient, high-quality restorations in just one visit.
