What Is the Most Popular Material for CEREC® Crowns?

Thinking about choosing CEREC® dental crowns? The main benefit that comes with selecting this crown option is that there is no need to make more than one appointment, which means no temporary crowns, as patients can have any crowns they need to be placed on the same day. Choosing an experienced dentist to perform the procedure is the first step.

Choosing a general dentist for CEREC® crowns

Many dental patients who are in need of crowns to improve their oral health are looking for a convenient way to have crowns placed in their mouths. The traditional crown method can take weeks, making it difficult for patients who live busy lives to get necessary dental work. Patients who are in need of a new CEREC® dentist should first make sure they have plenty of experience using CEREC® technology. Additional things to look for include locality and a friendly dental team.

The most common material used to make CEREC crowns

There are two main types of materials used to make CEREC crowns — ceramic and porcelain. The more popular material used to create CEREC crowns is ceramic. Both material options are biocompatible with a patient’s existing teeth, making this crown choice one that also looks natural. CEREC technology uses blocks of ceramic and porcelain to make the crowns, making precise cuts using the digital impressions taken from the patient's teeth. This allows the custom fit that patients need so their new crown is both comfortable and pleasant-looking.

Both ceramic are porcelain are non-metallic, durable and stable. Ceramic crowns are a bit stronger and are a bit more natural-looking when compared to porcelain, giving ceramic crowns the ability to provide patients with more natural tooth color results. Ceramic also resists cracking, which can occur when pressure is placed on the teeth while grinding one’s teeth. Ceramic crowns are thus more popular because this dental material is strong, durable and supports the translucency that makes teeth look brighter and more natural.

Making a material choice

In order for patients to make a material choice that is right for them, they need to ask a dental professional for advice. Every dental patient is different, making it necessary for them to get the personalized information they need to support their overall good oral health. Patients should make a list of questions to ask so that they have all of the information they need, all of which can be asked during the all-important consultation appointment.
