Yes! My dentist back in the Netherlands had this technology in 2004 and both of my crowns were made that way. When I came to the US in 2011 and had to go through the ‘old way’ of getting a temp crown, sending mold off to lab, coming back 2 or 3 times over the course of a month I was genuinely amazed it hadn’t caught on here. I finally found a dentist in the Bay Area with new technology.

My wife got a new crown using this new technology but managed to get it chipped in a manner of months. Her dentist reordered a new one using the old method and it is still good so far. Maybe she just got unlucky on the first one. Anyway I've had multiple crowns using the old method and have been pretty durable.

Both of my crowns from 2004-06 or thereabouts are still in very good shape. Your wife may have been unlucky indeed, or maybe they used different/weaker materials.

Strange, my dentist doesn't show up there but I recognize the Cerec brand from his machine...
