Cercon porcelain crowns are currently chosen by many reputable dental centers for cases of restoring missing teeth or improving the aesthetics of misaligned, discolored, or gapped teeth. Made from high-quality metal-free porcelain, this type of crown offers a natural appearance and high durability. However, many people still wonder if Cercon porcelain crowns are a good choice and truly worth the investment. In the article below, the team of dentists at My Auris will help clarify all the information you need to know before making a decision, ensuring full professional expertise and practical experience.
What are Cercon Porcelain Crowns? Which country are Cercon Crowns from?
Cercon porcelain crowns are a premium line of all-ceramic crowns, representing one of the most modern types, manufactured in Germany – a country renowned for its leading dental industry. This product stands out with a two-part structure: an inner framework made from ultra-durable Zirconium Dioxide, and an outer Cercon Kiss veneer – creating a natural white appearance like real teeth while providing robust strength to the crown.
A key feature of Cercon HT porcelain crowns is their fabrication using the most advanced CAD/CAM technology available today, ensuring almost absolute precision in every detail. As a result, getting Cercon crowns not only provides superior aesthetics but also completely overcomes the drawbacks of metal-ceramic crowns, such as offering a natural, translucent white color, preventing black gum lines, and notably, not changing tooth color over time.
Structurally, Cercon porcelain crowns consist of two distinct parts:
- The inner framework is made from Zirconium ceramic material – robust and highly biocompatible.
- The exterior is covered with multiple layers of exquisite porcelain, giving the crown a bright sheen and a color nearly identical to natural teeth, making it undetectable during conversation.
How many types of Cercon Porcelain Crowns are there?
How many types of Cercon porcelain crowns are there? Currently, there are two popular types of Cercon porcelain crowns widely used in aesthetic dental restorations: Cercon Zirconia (also known as Cercon XT) and Cercon HT. Each line has its own characteristics, suitable for different treatment needs and restoration positions.
Cercon Zirconia Porcelain Crowns (Cercon XT)
Cercon XT is a premium porcelain crown line manufactured with a monolithic design or a ceramic framework built from Zirconium Oxide material, combined with Yttrium Oxide to enhance hardness and durability. Thanks to its robust structure, this type of crown offers excellent load-bearing capacity and is less prone to wear and tear during daily chewing.
However, Cercon XT’s load-bearing capacity is not as high as Cercon HT, so it is commonly used for front teeth, where intense chewing force is not required. Furthermore, its easy compatibility with the body makes this porcelain crown highly regarded for its biocompatibility when used for anterior tooth restorations.
Cercon HT Porcelain Crowns
Cercon HT porcelain crowns are an improved ceramic line with many outstanding advantages, crafted from high-grade Zirconium Dioxide material. Thanks to its ultra-thin structure, only about 0.5mm thick, Cercon HT provides a light, natural tooth feel and does not cause bulkiness during use.
The most prominent feature of this line is its application of advanced CAD/CAM technology, allowing for precise design of the porcelain crown down to every detail, from its shape and exact size to the bite. Additionally, the white Zirconia framework helps the crown color closely match natural teeth, greatly enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
Pros and Cons of Cercon Porcelain Crowns
When it comes to aesthetic dental restoration solutions, Cercon porcelain crowns always garner much attention due to their outstanding features. However, to make an informed choice, it is essential to understand both the advantages and disadvantages of Cercon porcelain crowns. From a dentist’s perspective, this article will help you grasp accurate and reliable information.
Outstanding Advantages of Cercon Porcelain Crowns
Non-irritating, entirely ceramic: Cercon is crafted from 100% pure porcelain, containing no metal, making it extremely biocompatible with the body and suitable even for individuals with sensitive constitutions.
Natural color, no staining or dulling: Cercon porcelain crowns closely mimic natural teeth due to their optical properties, which are similar to tooth enamel. This allows users to smile confidently without worrying about aesthetic compromise.
No black lines at the gums: Unlike metal-ceramic crowns, Cercon completely eliminates the unsightly black lines at the gum margin, helping to maintain harmony within the oral cavity.
Superior stain resistance: Substances like food, tobacco, and coffee do not easily adhere to the tooth surface, thereby keeping the teeth bright white and easy to clean.
High durability, strong and healthy: Cercon porcelain crowns are not only beautiful but also possess superior hardness and excellent load-bearing capacity, supporting comfortable chewing and maintaining long-term aesthetic value for the oral cavity.
Disadvantages to Note When Choosing Cercon Porcelain Crowns
The translucent Zirconia framework – while providing natural translucency to the crown – cannot completely mask gray particles within. This may affect the final color if the underlying natural tooth is severely discolored.
In cases of severe antibiotic-stained teeth, dentists generally advise against using Cercon porcelain crowns, as the aesthetic results might not meet expectations. In such situations, you should consider choosing a ceramic line with better color masking capabilities.
Are Cercon Porcelain Crowns a Good Choice?
Cercon porcelain crowns are a leading choice among aesthetic dental crowning methods, highly rated by many not only for their aesthetics but also for their safety and numerous outstanding advantages.
One of the outstanding features of Cercon porcelain crowns is their suitability for all tooth positions, especially front teeth – where a high degree of naturalness is required. For those with teeth that are not bright white due to yellowing, black spots, or tetracycline staining, or who have aesthetically unpleasing tooth shapes such as gaps or large chips, Cercon can effectively remedy these conditions. With diverse shapes, high durability, and a natural color closely resembling real teeth, this type of crown helps maintain long-lasting results, even when restoring damaged front teeth.
Additionally, Cercon is also suitable for cases of 2-3 missing molars. When a porcelain crown is needed for an implant restoration or a dental bridge, Cercon demonstrates high load-bearing capacity and minimal wear over time – making it ideal for areas that experience significant chewing force. Consequently, the process of fabricating implant-supported crowns or dental bridges becomes more precise and effective.
However, to fully leverage the benefits mentioned above, the crown placement must ensure harmonious color matching, a snug fit with the natural teeth, and be performed by a highly skilled and experienced dentist. Precise execution will help ensure long-term oral health and prevent post-restoration complications.

Cercon Porcelain Crown Color Chart
The current Cercon porcelain crown color chart is divided into two most popular color tones, suitable for different individuals and purposes. Thanks to its ability to realistically mimic natural tooth color and high degree of naturalness, this line of porcelain crowns is increasingly favored in aesthetic dental restorations.
Opaque White Tone
The opaque white color is a perfect choice for those who prefer a natural and understated aesthetic. When using Cercon porcelain crowns in an opaque white tone, it’s difficult for others to detect them, providing a genuine feeling like natural teeth. This is an ideal shade, suitable for civil servants, as well as professions requiring neatness without being ostentatious, such as teachers, office workers, and lawyers.
Translucent White Tone
For those who prioritize appearance, especially young people, the translucent white color is a favored choice among youth. Under light, Cercon porcelain crowns shine with a pure white, creating a striking and luxurious aesthetic effect. This shade is particularly suitable for individuals meticulous about their image and appearance, such as models, singers, and sales professionals – occupations that require radiance and appeal.
Not limited to just these two main color groups, the Cercon porcelain crown color chart has also been developed with 16 shades ranging from light to dark, allowing users to easily choose a tone that matches their skin, age, and personal preferences. This flexibility offers diverse aesthetic solutions for all user needs, from simple to high-end.
