Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last? With proper care, dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. CEREC and zirconia crowns are particularly durable.
Are same-day CEREC crowns as good as traditional crowns? Yes. CEREC crowns are milled from high-quality ceramic blocks and offer excellent fit, strength, and aesthetics. Many patients prefer them because they avoid the need for temporary crowns and multiple visits.
Do dental crowns look natural? Modern crowns (especially porcelain and zirconia) are highly aesthetic and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We use digital shade matching and design software to ensure a natural look.
Is the crown procedure painful? The procedure is generally comfortable. We use local anesthesia, and most patients report little to no discomfort during or after the treatment.
How much do dental crowns cost at Smiles Peru? Our crowns are significantly more affordable than in the US or Canada while maintaining high quality. Exact pricing depends on the material and complexity — we provide transparent quotes after evaluation. Please see our price list for current pricing.
Can I get dental crowns in one trip to Lima? Yes. Most single crowns and many full smile cases can be completed in one trip using our same-day CEREC technology.
