Cerec crowns look and feel great. They're also reliable and should last a good while. The biggest advantage is that they can be created in just a day. We have an in-house lab in our office with an expert in technician working on every Cerec crown, when made correctly they truly look amazing. Good Luck!
The biggest disadvantage is anterior veneers arenot as natural looking as it could be when done traditional way by a mastertechnician. In posterior region it is not as important of course to mostpatients, but often, at least clinical cases I saw, aesthetic of the CEREC crowns are inferior. Also reduction of the tooth structure should beappropriate for the CEREC crowns to last.

Furthermore, the materials used are the most similar to your own enamel as far as wear, esthetics, and flexibility. Their is no metal in a CEREC crown, so the material is also the most bio compatible. Expect to get 20 years or more of life out of a CEREC crown.
