Traditional vs. CEREC same day crown
There are several differences between CEREC same day crowns and traditional crowns. With the traditional ones, you will need manual impressions of all of your teeth. This requires many visits to the dentist and a temporary crown may be placed between several visits. Also, it is harder to chew, you may have to wait for a few weeks in order to have a fully finished crown in the lab and in the end it might not fit right away and this means that you’ll have to go back to the lab for more than once.
