A crown or onlay covers all or part of a tooth. It strengthens and protects teeth that are weakened, damaged, decayed or root treated, restoring their shape and function and improving how they look.

CEREC is a computer-aided design and milling system. With our in-house milling unit, your crown or onlay can be prepared, milled and fitted in a single visit, with no temporary crown and no second appointment.

Why have a crown?

  • Restores the tooth's strength and function
  • Protects weakened or damaged teeth from further decay or fractures
  • Restores the natural shape, size and colour of the tooth
  • Reduces the risk of the tooth breaking further

What materials do we use?

CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramics such as zirconia or lithium disilicate, known for their durability, biocompatibility and natural appearance. They're precisely milled to match the colour, shape and translucency of your natural teeth.

Questions

Things patients often ask

How long does a same-day crown appointment take?

Allow a few hours for the whole visit, including preparation, scanning, milling and fitting. You're welcome to relax in the waiting area while your crown is being made.

Is a same-day crown as strong as a traditional crown?

CEREC crowns are milled from high-strength ceramic and are designed for everyday biting and chewing. Your dentist will recommend the best material for the position of the tooth.

Can every crown be done in one day?

Most can, but not all. Some complex cases, bridges or teeth that need further treatment first may take more than one visit. We'll tell you at your consultation.
