Same Day Dental Crown in Brighton, Melbourne
Some patients experience inconvenience when wearing a temporary crown or waiting for a final restoration to be completed. Traditional crown treatment often involves multiple appointments over several weeks, which may not suit everyone’s schedule.
In certain cases, digital dental technology allows crowns to be designed and fabricated within a single appointment. The suitability of same-day crown treatment depends on individual clinical circumstances and will be assessed during a consultation.
What Is a CEREC Crown? (How It Works in Brighton?)
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic) is a revolutionary CAD-CAM (computer assisted design/computer aided manufacturing) technology that eliminates the need for multiple visits to the dentist.
We can simply prepare the tooth, scan, and cement your porcelain crowns/onlays within 2-3 hours from start to finish. You don’t have to come back and you don’t have to worry about your temporary crown coming off and getting severe tooth sensitivity anymore.
CEREC can restore your tooth’s shape, function, strength and aesthetic in the most efficient way possible. However, there are still some cases where we want to send it to a lab for our dental ceramist to make your porcelain crown. All dental procedures carry risks and limitations. Patients are encouraged to review potential risks and considerations associated with crown treatment here.
Your Same Day Crown Journey from start to finish
Preparing your tooth
At this visit you will be comfortably seated in our dental chair and choosing your favourite music or Netflix show to watch before beginning the procedure. This visit will usually take about 2 hours and we want you to have the best dental experience especially if you are anxious about visiting the dentist.
The first part of the visit our gentle dentist will be numbing the area, followed by the preparation of the tooth in readiness for the porcelain crown. Due to the nature of having the permanent crown cemented on the same day, we no longer need to make a temporary crown, which means our dentist can be conservative with the crown design and preserve more of your healthy tooth structure.

Creating your porcelain tooth
Then we will take a 3D digital scan of the tooth and our CEREC software will be able to create a porcelain tooth within minutes. You can now take a break, have a stretch, and even take a walk along our lovely brighton precinct whilst we plan, mill, and glaze your porcelain crown using our latest CEREC technology: PrimeScan, Prime Mill and Speedfire furnace. (60min)
Inserting your CEREC Crown
You will now return for your final crown to be inserted. At this point, you should still be numb so we don’t need to give you an additional anesthetic, which is always a bonus. The final cementation process should be quick and easy; making porcelain crowns have never been so convenient. (20min)
