Grove Around Crowns. What About Costs For CEREC?

I just got crowns on 2-5, 2-6, I can feel a grove around the margin of each and I'm wondering if this as a concern? I also had a predetermination done and the insurance claimed they only cover $235 for CEREC lab fees, my dentist doesn't have CEREC, don't you have to be scanned to use CEREC? What fee would normally cost more, the CEREC or regular lab fee?

Cerec Crowns vs. Lab Crowns

Cerec technology can provide this type of crown, as can a lab using this type of ceramic. Insurance companies are all different as are the policies they sell. ... more
