What is a Same-day CEREC Crown?

The Process of a Same-Day Dental Crown
There are multiple steps in the process of creating a beautiful same-day crown using cerec technology.
Your Dentist at Mickleham Dental, will prepare your tooth for the restoration. the preparation depends on the restoration type, but can this can include removing decay or old filling material, and/or restoring the existing tooth structure so it can support the restoration.
Then, a special camera then takes a 3d image of the tooth inside your mouth (cad), where your dentist then designs the restoration on the computer screen using a virtual 3d model of your tooth. This allows them to customise the design to exactly fit your clinical needs and wants.
Once both you and your dentist are happy with the design, the data for the model is then electronically sent to our on-site milling machine, which uses precise cutting burrs to fabricate the restoration to your exact specifications.
Within minutes the milling is complete and the restoration is ready to be cemented into place, once the shade, fit and design has been checked and adjusted if required.
What are the benefits of same-day crowns?
Strong and Reliable
At Mickleham Dental, our Same-Day Crowns are crafted from high-quality porcelain—a strong, durable material also used in our premium cosmetic treatments like veneers. Once bonded, porcelain crowns offer long-lasting support and a natural, lifelike appearance.
After Care
While porcelain crowns are highly durable, their longevity depends on proper care. Like your natural teeth, crowns can stain or wear down over time if neglected. To keep them looking and functioning at their best, we recommend:
Brushing and flossing daily
Avoiding excessive force (like biting hard objects)
Attending regular dental check-ups and cleans
