When a tooth has beeꦰn heꦡavily broken down or weakened, a crown is often necessary.

A tootꦆh may be broken down or weakened by extensive decay, root canal treatment, trauma or wear.

A crown (cap) fits over the existing natural too𝐆th and replaces the natural crown, the part of the tooth seen abꦓove the gums.

A crown will not only strengthen this too💃th, and enable you to keep 🎉this tooth for many years, but it will restore the tooth back to its natural appearance.

Same Day Dental Crowns

Geelong Smile Studio are exceptionally proud to once agai🅺n be at the absolute forefront of dentistry and be able to o♛ffer our patients the very best and latest in dental technology.

Introducing CEREC - a revolutionary Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) machine which enables precise ceramic restorations - crowns, inlays, onlays, and amalgam replacement to be performed in a SINGLE visit!

This state-of-ꦇthe-art technology has revolutionised chairside dentistry.

How does it work?

If you have a broken tooth, have some decay or old amalgam restorations you wish to have replaced, the tooth will be prepared for your new ceramic restoration whilst preserving as much healthy tooth structure are possible. A state-of-the-art💜 digital 3D image is taken (no impressions) to create a virtual model of your tooth on the computer screen. Dr. Jason Gray will then design and customise the cera📖mic restoration to your specific clinical needs.

At this stage, some people like to put their feet 📖up in our private tranquillity room, with a reclining lounge and TV, but most (99%) people want to see this amazing technolog𒉰y at work.

At the touch of a keyboard, the ceramic block in our on-site milling unit (we call him Derek the CEREC) is machined to our exact design specifications. Within 10-15 minutes, the square ceramic block has been transformed into a preci♊se, ceramic, tooth coloured restoration.

♋Once the milling is complete, the restoration is polished, fitted and then bonded in place🌟.

The entire process to create a tooth-liജke, strong, durable CEREC ceramic restoration can now be completed in less than 2 hours.
