Your Same-Day Crown, Made & Fitted in One Visit in Belconnen!
At Elfar Dental, we’re revolutionising restorative and cosmetic dentistry with CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics), the world’s leading same-day crown technology. No more waiting weeks for a lab-made crown or dealing with temporary restorations—your custom-designed, high-quality ceramic crown is crafted, fitted, and bonded in just one appointment.
Your Same-Day Crown: A Step-by-Step Journey
Step 1: Digital Scan & Design
Your journey begins with a comfortable, high-resolution digital scan of your tooth. There are no messy impressions! Our CEREC camera captures a precise 3D model in seconds. Using this model, our dentist works with you to digitally design your new crown, customising its shape and contour to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Step 2: Precision Milling
Once the design is finalised, the data is sent wirelessly to our in-house milling unit. A solid, high-quality ceramic block (matching your tooth shade) is precisely carved into your custom crown. This process takes about 10-20 minutes, right here in our practice.
Step 3: Fitting & Bonding
Your new crown is carefully checked for fit, bite, and colour. Once perfect, it’s permanently bonded to your tooth using a high-strength dental adhesive. You leave our practice with a fully restored and functional tooth—all in a single appointment.
Why Choose One-Visit CEREC Crowns in Belconnen?
1. Fast & Convenient – No Multiple Visits Needed
Traditional crowns require at least two appointments—one for impressions and temporary crowns, and another for fitting the permanent restoration. With CEREC, we use advanced 3D scanning and milling technology to design, create, and place your crown in just one visit, saving you time and hassle.
2. Precision-Matched to Your Smile
Using high-resolution digital scans, we capture a perfect 3D model of your tooth, ensuring your crown fits seamlessly with your bite and natural teeth. The CEREC software then crafts your restoration from tooth-coloured ceramic.
3. Metal-Free & Biocompatible
CEREC crowns are made from high-grade ceramic (such as lithium disilicate or zirconia), offering:
✔ High-strength – ceramic material designed for durability
✔ Aesthetic appearance – No metal, just a tooth-coloured finish
✔ Biocompatibility – Safe for patients with metal sensitivities
4. Digital Scanning for Your Crown
Forget bulky, ill-fitting temporary crowns or goopy impression materials. CEREC’s digital scanning is quick, comfortable, and eliminates the need for messy molds.
5. Same-Day Crowns with Digital Precision
Whether you need a crown for a cracked tooth, large filling replacement, or cosmetic enhancement, CEREC delivers lab-quality restorations in just hours—not weeks. Walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a fully restored tooth.
Crafted from Premium Materials for Durability
At Elfar Dental, we use ceramic materials for your CEREC crowns, ensuring a perfect blend of durability and natural aesthetics. These include:
Lithium Disilicate: A remarkably strong and aesthetically versatile glass-ceramic. It’s prized for its translucency, making it an ideal choice for front teeth where a natural, lifelike appearance is paramount.
Zirconia: One of the strongest materials in dentistry today, zirconia is a high-performance ceramic ideal for back teeth (molars) that endure significant chewing forces. It offers exceptional durability and a metal-free, biocompatible solution.
Is a Same-Day Crown Right for You?
A CEREC crown can be the ideal solution for a variety of situations. You might benefit from one if you:
Need same-day tooth restoration and want to avoid multiple appointments
Are looking for metal-free, aesthetic crowns
Have a busy lifestyle and can’t afford multiple dental visits
Want a durable solution without the wait
Have a cracked, fractured, or weakened tooth that needs protection to prevent further damage
Have a large, failing filling that requires replacement to restore the tooth’s strength
Have a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment, which often needs a crown for protection
Desire a cosmetic enhancement to improve the shape, colour, or contour of a tooth
Have a dental implant that needs a natural-looking crown to complete the restoration

Frequently Asked Questions About CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Q: How long does the CEREC same-day crown procedure take?
A: The appointment typically takes about one to two hours to complete the entire process of designing, milling, and fitting your custom ceramic crown.
Q: How long do CEREC crowns last?
A: With proper care and regular check-ups, CEREC crowns can last up to 10 to 15 years, similar to traditional crowns. Their longevity depends on good oral hygiene habits and avoiding habits like teeth grinding.
Q: What are the benefits of a same-day CEREC crown?
A: The main advantage is convenience—you get your permanent crown in a single appointment without needing a temporary crown or a second visit. Benefits also include a precise digital scan instead of messy impressions, an aesthetic ceramic crown, and reduced chair time.
Q: Will my CEREC crown look natural?
A: The ceramic material is colour-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth, and the digital design process allows for precise shaping and contouring to create an aesthetic restoration.
Q: Is the CEREC crown procedure painful?
A: The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel sharp pain during the treatment. You may feel some pressure. After the anaesthesia wears off, you may experience some mild sensitivity, which is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
Q: How do I care for my CEREC crown?
A: Your CEREC crown should be cared for like a natural tooth. Brush and floss regularly around the crowned tooth, avoid chewing on very hard objects (like ice or pens), and attend your regular dental check-ups so we can monitor your crown and overall oral health.
Q: Is a same-day crown as good as a traditional lab-made crown?
A: CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials and are designed using digital precision. Both options can provide excellent results, but CEREC offers the advantage of convenience—your crown is completed in a single appointment.

Protecting Your Investment: Aftercare for Your New Crown
Your CEREC crown is designed to be strong and durable, just like a natural tooth. With the same good oral hygiene habits, it can last for many years. We recommend:
Brush and floss regularly around the crowned tooth, just as you would your natural teeth, to prevent plaque buildup at the gum line.
Avoid using your teeth as tools (e.g., opening packages) or chewing on very hard objects like ice or pens.
Attend your regular check-ups so we can monitor your crown and overall oral health, ensuring everything remains in excellent condition.
