Cerec Crowns on back teeth
There is no disadvantage of having Cerec crowns versus traditional Porcelain fused to metal crowns on back teeth. If the crown has a good fit and is maintained with good hygiene it should last a long time.

No Disadvantages to CEREC
There really are no disadvantages to a crown produced using CEREC. The process is more efficient and the precision is at least equal if not better than traditional methods. Patients respond better to digital impressions than having a mouthful of GOOP. Having the crown delivered in one visit saves both the dentist chair time and the patient time away from work or family, expense and delays to obtain anesthesia.

CEREC crowns can have several advantages. 1. The process can be done in one visit, which means less anesthetic. 2. Newer materials like EMax. are extremely durable and long lasting. 3.

Cerec crown facts
The main advantage of a cerec is time savings. These cad/cam machines require 1 longer visit to provide a crown than 2 shorter appointments to do the "traditional ceramist" type crown.

Cerec vs. other crowns
Generally cerec is less esthetic than other all ceramic crowns, but more esthetic than porcelain fused to metal ones.
The fitting process is more likely a bit longer with cerec but everything is done at one appointment (a long one) as opposed to 2 shorter appointments for traditional crowns (all ceramic or porcelain fused to metal)
Cerec may be as reliable in the long run as other crowns, but it would be up to the dentists skill, experience and attention to detail.
Hope...
