My crown was barely in for 24 hours and broke. I didn't realize I was getting a CEREC crown and actually thought my crown would be done the old way, through a lab. I feel now that I don't have any confidence in either my dentist nor CEREC crown, being that this chunk fell off so soon, while eating a soft egg sandwhich. The crown also did NOT fit well at first and felt very high so he kept drilling or filling it to fix it, could this have compromised the quality?

Hi:
Most likely the bite has to be adjusted and make sure there is no grinding or clenching pressure on the crown as well. Also food impaction can cause gum inflammation with translates into pain. Please go back to your dentist right away to check he bite and evaluate the gum.

It is probably a piece of your temporary crown that has fractured off. It's also possible that it is just a little big of extra material that was loose and has now surfaced. I suggest going in to see your dentist as soon as you can to make sure that it is intact your temporary crown or ex...
The first question is what is the material of that crown? It's recommended to go with the new crown as damage [microscopic] during the removal of the crown may result in marginal leakage if re-used.
