CEREC Same-Day Crowns in St Kilda
Restore Your Smile in One Visit
If you’ve been told you need a dental crown, you might be dreading multiple appointments, messy impressions, and weeks of waiting. At Dental Art St Kilda, we offer CEREC same-day crowns, a modern solution that gives you a high-quality, long-lasting crown in just one visit.
What is a CEREC Same-Day Crown?
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a modern dental technology that uses 3D imaging, computer-aided design (CAD), and in-clinic milling machines to create custom ceramic crowns in a single appointment.
Unlike traditional crowns that require temporary fittings and multiple visits, CEREC lets our St Kilda dentists design, create, and fit your crown on the same day – saving you time and discomfort.
Advantages of CEREC Crowns at Dental Art St Kilda
- One-Day Treatment – No more temporary crowns or return visits. Everything is completed within a single session.
- No Messy Impressions – Digital 3D scans replace old-fashioned moulds, making your visit more comfortable and precise.
- Natural Aesthetics – CEREC uses high-quality ceramic materials that mimic the colour and translucency of your natural teeth.
- Durable and Long-Lasting – With proper care, a CEREC crown can last 10-15 years or longer.
- Minimally Invasive – Less drilling is needed, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Designed with Precision – Digital technology ensures a perfect fit, reducing discomfort and adjustment time.
Scan
Taking an intraoral scan with Primescan or Omnicam – making scanning easier, more intuitive, and produce precise 3D models in natural colours. Sparing our patients the discomfort of conventional impressions.
Design
With the CEREC Software we can design customised restorations. As the initial proposals are very accurate and the user interface is clearly structured and intuitive, this takes very little time.
Manufacture
Next, the design is sent to the milling machine. The grinding or milling process is extremely precise and creates smooth surfaces and margins, as well as ultrafine structures. A large variety of materials for crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and more is available.
Sinter and finish
All-ceramic zirconium oxide restorations can be sintered and glazed in the CEREC SpeedFire furnace.
Highly intuitive and simple operation. In addition to Zirconia, all other glass ceramics can be processed.
