Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

How long do same-day crowns and bridges last?

With proper care and maintenance, same-day crowns and bridges typically last up to 10 years. It's important to practice good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the longevity of your restorations.

Are same-day crowns and bridges less durable?

Despite their rapid production, same-day crowns and bridges crafted using CEREC technology are not inherently less durable than traditional restorations. The CAD/CAM technology employed in same-day procedures ensures precise customization and high-quality materials, resulting in crowns and bridges with comparable strength and longevity to those fabricated through conventional methods. With proper care and maintenance, same-day restorations can provide lasting functionality and aesthetic appeal, offering you the convenience of immediate results without compromising on durability.

Is the same-day crowns and bridges process painful?

The same-day crowns and bridges process is typically painless, as local anesthesia is used to numb the area during tooth preparation. You may experience some minor discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this should subside within a few days.
