Is it better to get a CEREC crown or a traditional crown made in a lab? By better I mean natural looking.

James,
The biggest advantage to CEREC crowns is convenience. You can have your permanent crown done the same day as your appointment. There will be no need for a temporary crown and return appointment.
The question as to which one is more natural looking, while a good question is asking the wrong thing. Either crown, traditional and CEREC, can look natural in the hands of a skilled dentist.
An artistic dentist can make just about any crown match your teeth and look stunning. In the hands of a lesser skilled dentist, it wouldn’t matter what type of materials and / or lab you used. It will look terrible.
