Which crowns are better, cerec or porcelain crowns?

Elaina,
CEREC crowns are a type of porcelain crown. I wouldn’t say that one is better than the other. The biggest benefit to a CEREC crown is really in its convenience. Because they are milled by a computer, you can have your CEREC crown done the same day as your initial appointment, saving you coming in a second time. You also won’t have to wear a temporary crown.
If you decided not to get a CEREC crown, you’ll want to make sure you get all porcelain crowns and not porcelain fused to metal crowns. Because of their metal foundation, those type of crowns have to be made a little opaque. They also develop a gray line at your gumline over time.
