Same-day Dental Crowns Melbourne | CEREC Same Day Crowns

Efficient restoration with CEREC technology

At Dentistry in Canterbury, we utilize CEREC equipment to provide crown treatments in a single appointment. This technology allows our team to design, fabricate, and place ceramic crowns during one visit, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or a follow-up appointment.

If you have damaged or decayed teeth, this process offers an alternative to traditional crown procedures, designed to restore the function and appearance of your tooth efficiently.

We utilise CEREC technology, which employs 3D imaging software to design and manufacture dental restorations. The process begins with a digital scan of the mouth to map the dimensions of the teeth, replacing the need for traditional dental putty impressions.

Using this data, we create a digital design of the crown. Our in-house milling machine then fabricates the restoration to match the specific dimensions of the design. Once milled, the dentist fits, adjusts, and bonds the crown to the tooth to complete the restoration.

A CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) crown is a ceramic restoration fabricated onsite using digital technology. The process utilizes 3D scans of the patient’s mouth to design and mill a crown intended to fit the dimensions of the prepared tooth.

A same-day crown appointment involves 3D scanning of the preparation, digital design, onsite milling of the ceramic crown, and final cementation by the dentist. The entire process is generally completed in a single appointment, which typically lasts around two hours.

CEREC crowns offer a durable and aesthetic alternative to traditional lab-created crowns, with the primary advantage being single-visit completion. They are designed to fit the specific contours of the tooth using digital accuracy. However, in some instances, such as complex aesthetic cases, a lab-made crown may still be recommended. At Dentistry in Canterbury, your dentist will advise on the most suitable option for your specific clinical needs.
