Same Day Dental Crown Adelaide | Same-day Crown (CEREC)

Q: Am I a good candidate for a CEREC crown?

CEREC is suitable for most patients who need a crown or significant restoration. The best way to find out if it's right for you is to come in for a consultation. Our Adelaide dentists will assess your tooth, discuss your options, and give you an honest recommendation - along with a full treatment plan and fee estimate before anything begins.

Same-day dental crowns in Adelaide

If you’ve ever needed a dental crown, you’ll know the traditional process — multiple appointments, temporary crowns, and a fair bit of waiting around. At Dentistry on Unley, we offer a better way. Using the latest CEREC technology, we can design, create, and fit a beautiful all-ceramic crown in a single visit. No impressions, no temporaries, no coming back a week later. Just one appointment and a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

FAQs about CEREC crowns

What is a CEREC crown and how is it different from a traditional crown?

CEREC is a modern, high-tech alternative to traditional dental crowns. It stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, but in plain terms, it's a way of creating a custom ceramic crown right here in our Unley dental practice in a single visit.

Instead of sending impressions to an external lab and waiting up to two weeks for your crown to come back, we use a 3D digital scan of your tooth to design and mill your restoration from a solid ceramic block on the same day. One visit, one crown, done.

What are the benefits of choosing a CEREC crown?

Minimal loss of healthy tooth structure compared to other restorative methods
Only one visit is required
No impressions required
No temporary crowns or temporary fillings required
Metal-free and bio-compatible materials
Highly aesthetic- natural tooth colour and shine
Stronger than composite resin tooth coloured restorations
Because ceramic is stronger than composite resin, CEREC crowns are built to last.

What is the CEREC crown process at Dentistry on Unley?

The same-day dental crown process with our Unley dentist is straightforward.

First, we prepare the tooth and take a precise 3D digital scan - no messy impressions required. That scan is used to design your restoration on screen, right in front of you.

Once the design is finalised, the crown is milled from a high-quality ceramic block in our on-site milling unit - a process that takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Our Unley dentist then check the fit, make any fine adjustments, and bond the crown to your tooth. From start to finish, the whole appointment typically takes up to two hours.

The process is quick, non-invasive, and far more comfortable than traditional impressions. Local anaesthetic is used during the preparation stage, so you won't feel any discomfort while the tooth is being prepared. Our team will make sure you're comfortable and informed throughout the entire appointment.
