If you’ve been told you need a dental crown but are concerned about multiple appointments or temporary crowns, same day crowns using CEREC technology may be the ideal solution.
At Pacific Smiles Dental Bribie Island, CEREC allows eligible patients to restore damaged or weakened teeth in just one visit, making treatment faster, more comfortable, and more convenient.
What Is a Same Day Crown?
A same day crown is a custom-made dental crown that is designed, created, and placed in a single appointment using advanced CEREC technology.
Traditional crowns usually require two visits, one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and another to place the final crown weeks later. With CEREC, this entire process can often be completed on the same day.
How CEREC Technology Works
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) uses digital scanning and computer-aided design to create precise dental restorations.
The process typically includes:
-
Digital scans of your tooth — no messy impressions
-
Designing your crown on-screen for an accurate fit
-
On-site milling of your custom ceramic crown
-
Placement and adjustment during the same appointment
This streamlined process helps deliver efficient, high-quality results with minimal disruption to your day.
Benefits of Same Day Crowns
Same day crowns offer several advantages over traditional crown treatments, including:
-
One appointment instead of two
-
No temporary crown
-
Digital precision for improved fit
-
Strong, durable ceramic materials
-
Natural-looking appearance
-
Reduced time off work or travel
For many patients, convenience is a major benefit — especially for those with busy schedules.
Who May Need a Dental Crown?
Same day crowns may be suitable for patients who have:
-
Cracked or broken teeth
-
Large fillings that no longer provide enough support
-
Teeth weakened by decay
-
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
-
Worn or damaged teeth affecting function or appearance
Your dentist will assess your individual needs and let you know whether a same day crown is the right option for you.
Are Same Day Crowns Right for Everyone?
While CEREC crowns are suitable for many cases, they may not be recommended for every patient or every tooth. Some complex cases may still require traditional laboratory-made crowns.
Your Pacific Smiles dentist will provide personalised advice and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for your smile.
