My CEREC Crown Still Hurts when I Bite?

January 28, 2013
Asked By:sa_bh_92

I had my CEREC partial/inlay crown done 3 months ago on lower left molar. But ever since I still can not bite since it is painful and sensitive. I went one time back for and dentist did some adjustments but it still is hurting. I am sure this is not normal. I am going back tomorrow. What should I ask dentist to do? Can he take it off and make a new one? Can this be fixed because I can not live like this.

Zirconia Crowns Vs Emax Crowns?
Norman Huefner, DDS says:

Hands down, Emax will look better than Zirconia.  Emax is a porcelain, Zirconia is actually a white metal covered over with porcelain.  Because the white metal on Zirconia crowns does not allow light to pass through it as naturally as the all ceramic Emax, Zirconia crowns often look...
