Conservative/Durable Convenient/Comfortable Esthetics Case Study: CEREC vs. Metal Crown 
Because CEREC restorations do not require metal reinforcement, they act and appear more natural than porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM). Light passes through them without casting the shadows at the gum line so typical with PFM crowns.
The third tooth from the right needs repair from a leaky filling.
CEREC half crown is milled to fit the damaged tooth.
CEREC crown is placed on the damaged tooth. Note the natural appearance of CEREC (third tooth from right) compared to a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown (second tooth from right) and a gold crown (right).
