The Disadvantages of CEREC<\/h2>\r\nSame-day crowns are often praised for their convenience and durability, but what you don\u2019t often hear about is their appearance. Crowns created through CEREC are milled from a single block of ceramic. This makes it almost impossible for the crown to match your existing teeth, making it look extra apparent that you\u2019ve had a crown placed. If you plan on getting a same-day crown for one of your visible teeth and you care deeply about the appearance of your smile, it may be worth having second thoughts.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, CEREC technology is still incredibly complex, so only a dentist will be able to use it effectively. If your dentist isn\u2019t available that day, then a hygienists or dental assistant won\u2019t be capable of creating the crown you need until the dentist comes back. Creating CEREC crowns is an extremely technical process, so only certified individuals should be operating CEREC machines and designing crowns.\r\n

When a Traditional Crown is More Appropriate<\/h2>\r\nIt\u2019s worth mentioning that traditional dental crowns tend to use more durable and longer lasting materials than what you\u2019d find with same-day crowns. This sturdy material, typically consisting of a combination of porcelain, gold or silver that\u2019s fused to metal, provides a strong substitute for replacing natural teeth. This assures that your crown last for an incredibly long time and may not necessarily be the case for a crown made exclusively through ceramic materials. If you want the most durable solution to restoring damaged teeth, it\u2019s hard to recommend same-day crowns over traditional ones.\r\n
