My dentist has a CEREC machine. We’ve used it for a crown before, but on a tooth on my bottom arch. Now I need one on my top front tooth and he’s saying “No”. He said they don’t look good on front teeth. I truly liked the convenience. Plus, he wants to crown both front teeth to make them match. Is this legitimate?<\/p>\n

Dear Anna,<\/p>\n

\"Block<\/p>\n

You should be aware that only the top cosmetic dentists in the world can match a single crown to a front tooth. That is even more challenging when it comes to using CEREC. If convenience is what you’re after, go with the two crowns and traditional crowns. I’ll explain why in a moment. If you want gorgeous front teeth with just one crown, you’ll need to find an expert cosmetic dentist. <\/p>\n

Matching a Single Crown to a Front Tooth<\/h2>\n

Your front teeth are right next to each other and much more exposed to the light. Even the slightest deviations will be very noticeable. It will be quite obvious your teeth won’t match. <\/p>\n

With even the best dentists, it will take a few try-ins before it matches perfectly. That could go faster with CEREC crowns<\/a> because it’s milled right there and not sent to a lab. It will still likely take more than one try. This method will take even more skill. <\/p>\n

With a CEREC crown, that’s even harder because they are milled from a single block of porcelain. Traditional porcelain crowns<\/a> use several blocks with variations in opacity. Your dentist would have to be very versed in color theory skills which are not taught in dental school. It’s obvious your dentist doesn’t have that training.<\/p>\n

It’s actually showing his integrity that he’s being honest with you. He could have bluffed his way through and given sad looking results. <\/p>\n

Finding the Cosmetic Dentist Who Can Do Gorgeous CEREC Crowns<\/h2>\n

Truthfully, because of the difficulty of this type of case, to get a beautiful, natural looking result which will match your other front tooth, you’ll need to go to a dentist accredited with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. <\/p>\n

AACD accredited dentists have gone through stringent oral and written exams as well as proven their artistry with a large number of cases they’ve done and provided evidence for. All of them have gone through extensive training in advanced cosmetic procedures after graduating dental school.<\/p>\n

What it boils down to in this particular case is what’s more important to you— a convenient, fast result, or a natural looking attractive result. <\/p>\n

It is definitely your smile and your choice. Don’t feel pressured to go a way you don’t want. <\/p>\n
