CEREC crown over other crowns?
CEREC crowns use CAD/CAM technology which is the future of dentistry. This technology is also being used by the dental labs to fabricate crowns. It is very accurate and convenient for the patient. Your tooth is scanned and then read by the computer for fabrication. With a conventional method of making a crown, a dental impression is made of the tooth. First of all, the impression needs to be done properly to get a good imprint of the tooth and impression...

Cerec crowns
There definitely is an advantage of having a crown made at the time of the dental visit. It eliminates a second visit and the chances that a temporary crown falls off or is sensitive. I personally prefer to use a lab technician as the labs have a variety of different materials to choose from. Whether I want a LAVA zirconium crown or a pressed ceramic E-max crown, I can choose that. As materials change and technology improves, I have the flexiblity to choose that...

CEREC vs Lab crowns
Whether you choose a CEREC crown over a lab crown depends on your expectations and what satisfies them. If you aren't too picky about the esthetic result and are primarily concerned about a decent fit and function in a single appointment crown then CEREC is for you. There are a lot of different shade porcelain blocks available now and some blend in fairly nicely. But not always. This becomes more challenging as you move to the front teeth. Unless the dentist is willing to spend...

Advantages of Cerec over other types.
The only advantage is that its one visit rather than two. The total time in the dental chair is probably longer during that one visit than the total time of the two visits combined with other crown procedures.
The procedure might be better for the dentist because he can eliminate the lab technician, and the associated lab fees. Over the long term this could be a significant savings for the dentist.
I would say that a cerec crown is more of a potential...
