A lot of patients ask whether they can start with quick resin today and switch to custom porcelain crowns later in life. Understanding how these treatments interchange keeps your expectations realistic.
Can ceramic crowns replace old bonding?
Yes, crowns replace worn composite bonding all the time. After five to eight years of coffee and chewing, patients often decide to upgrade to porcelain crowns for permanent brightness and strength.
Can bonding replace an existing crown?
Bonding can never replace a crown. Once a tooth is prepped for a crown, the protective enamel is gone for good. You have to keep that tooth covered with a new crown for life.
