Multiple CEREC Crown Failures, is Sirona or my Dentist responsible and what can or should be done?

Leeward
I had CEREC crowns placed on tooth numbers 19, 30 and 31. I was told by my dentist that CEREC is just as durable as any other crown, looks more natural, would involve less pain, reduced the number of dental visits and cost the same as a traditional crown. I chose CEREC restorations based on the above factors. In less than ten years, all three crowns failed (cracked), the latest resulted in a root canal and tremendous pain. Is my dentist or Sirona responsible, and what should/can I do?
