SAME day crowns
At Moonee Ponds Family Dentistry, we’re proud to offer same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. This allows you to restore and protect damaged teeth in just one appointment. That means no temporary crowns, no messy impressions, and no follow-up visits.
Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, had a large filling fail, or need protection after a root canal, our same-day crown solution provides a fast, durable, and natural-looking result.
What is a Same-Day Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Traditionally, getting a crown involved multiple visits and temporary restorations. With our CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, your crown is scanned, designed, milled, and placed all in one visit.
Benefits of Same-Day Crowns include:
-
No temporary crowns or second appointments
-
Completed in a single visit, usually within 2 hours
-
Digital impressions with no messy moulds
-

FAQs About Same Day Crowns
How long do same-day crowns last?
When properly cared for, same-day ceramic crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups will help extend their lifespan.
Do same-day crowns look natural?
Yes. We use tooth-coloured ceramic that blends with your natural teeth. Most people won’t be able to tell the difference.
Are same-day crowns as strong as traditional crowns?
Yes. CEREC crowns are made from durable ceramic materials designed for long-term strength and wear resistance.
Will I need a root canal before a crown?
Not necessarily. A root canal is only required if the tooth's nerve is infected or severely damaged. Your dentist will advise what’s needed.
Do you offer same-day crowns in nearby suburbs?
Yes. We welcome patients from Moonee Ponds, Essendon, Ascot Vale, Brunswick West, Maribyrnong and surrounding areas.
