CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns
In many cases, an emergency dentist can save a broken or chipped tooth. However, some breaks—horizontal or below the gumline—require complete extraction and tooth replacement.
How Your Emergency Dentist in Blacktown Saves a Broken Tooth
Typically, we shape or prepare the remaining tooth for crowning. Placing a dental crown protects the underlying tooth from further damage or a necessary extraction.
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that enclose your tooth, restoring bite function and aesthetics. The crown is shaped and coloured to match neighbouring teeth.
About CEREC Same-Day Tooth Crowns
CEREC allows the dentist to fabricate your crown while you wait. First, we take a digital impression and send it to our on-site computer. The computer creates the specifications and forwards the instructions to our 3-D printer. The printer cuts and fabricates your tooth crown from a piece of quality porcelain.
Your dentist will evaluate your case to ensure a same-day crown in Blacktown is right for you.
If we cannot save your tooth, the dentist will consult you on tooth replacement, which is vital to your ongoing dental health and oral function.
We Treat Dental Emergencies as Soon as Possible

The cost of CEREC same-day crowns is typically similar to the price of traditional crowns. However, each patient's case is unique and priced based on their needs and the complexity of their case.
The best way to determine the cost of your treatment is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists so you can understand your treatment needs. They will review your options and the price so you can make an informed decision and determine the best treatment for your needs, lifestyle and budget.
The Advantages of CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC crowns can provide several advantages over traditional lab-made restorations:
- Efficiency — CEREC crowns are ready the same day as opposed to waiting two to three weeks for a dental lab to complete your crown.
- Comfort — CEREC uses 3-D imaging to capture impressions of your teeth instead of the messy alginate impressions we used in the past.
- Quality — CEREC uses high-quality ceramic porcelain to create a restoration you can rely on for many years to come.
- No Temporaries — With a same-day crown, you won't have to wear an uncomfortable and often unreliable temporary crown while you wait for your restoration at a dental lab.
