I am 46 y.o. and have many root canals and crowns (molars only). The overall appearance of my teeth is very nice and I receive compliments often on my smile. I told the dentist I am unhappy with the old molars (done by someone else, we've moved and this is a new dentist for me). The old molars are discolored and I was looking to replace them closer to uniform whiteness throughout. He immediately suggested crowning every tooth in my mouth. I saw no examples of veneers in his portfolio. Thx!
Without doing an exam or seeing xrays, it is hard to recommoned exactly what you need, but maybe I can give you some guidance. If a tooth has no fillings or a root canal, and especially in the front, I would recommend only veneers. Veeners are a good choice if you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth and have tried teeth whitening already. However, on the posterior teeth, which it sounds like you have root canals and crowns, I would recommend crowns. Also, there are different types of crowns. Usually, we prefer non-metal crowns in our practice. It is important to be able to have a discussion with your dentist about all of your options.
A CEREC crown can be fitted in a single appointment, how long is the appointment? Will a CEREC crown last as long as a traditional porcelain crown?
In our office, it takes one and a half hours to two hours for a CEREC visit. However, during that time, about 45 minutes is relaxing time for the patient. During the relaxing time, the patient watches televison, reads, or checks their emails. As far as the work on the tooth, it is exactly the same as a conventional crown, and the patient does not have to deal with a temporary crown for 2-3 weeks and worry about making a second appointment with us. It is very convenient for the patient and also avoids the tooth becoming more sensitive with the temporary crown. With everyone's busy schedules, it is a great service for the patient.
