Cerec crowns also known as caps, they are used to fix decayed and broken teeth. In the first the crown were made from gold, but many people where not happy to smile flashing their gold tooth. This is why the porcelain was then used to fuse the teeth. The problem with using the porcelain is that it does not let the right to come in and can leave the dark color in the gum which makes a smile too unattractive.

Another problem with the porcelain and gold caps is that you have to fit them by visiting the dentist more than once. On the first visit, the dentist will measure the teeth and the impression is sent to the dental lab. After the crown is made, then you will have to return to the dentist to have your crown permanently fitted.

The cerec crowns are the crown made from the porcelain and can be fixed only in one hour without the need for you to go and to come back. The cerec is acronym from the CEramic REConstruction and was first used during the year 1987. The crown are made by melting the product on the lower degree than its melting degree which means that the final product will be stronger and resistant to breakage.

There are many reasons why the cerec crowns are gaining the importance. First, the crown can be fitted in only one visit which saves the time and the cost for visiting the dentist. You do not need a temporary crown since everything will be fit once and for all therefore there is no discomfort for you.

There is no any metal used with the cerec crowns which means that it is esthetic. This technology can also be used if you need the filling. Since the porcelain is used, then it is more durable than the usual composite filling. Even the first cerec fitting can be too expensive; it will save the money on the long run especially because there is not fee for lab technician or for the dentist.

The problem with the cerec crowns is that it is hard to add the color gradient of a natural tooth. The color used is the standard one which means that it will be the same for everyone. The cerec crowns do not look good on the front teeth and to produce really esthetic teeth it needs an expert.
