A damaged tooth doesn't have to mean multiple visits and weeks of waiting.
With in-house milling, we can design, craft, and fit your permanent crown — all in a single appointment.
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling to hold — whether cracked, broken, or heavily worn — a crown acts as a protective cap, restoring both strength and appearance.
Left untreated, a damaged tooth can lead to further breakage, pain, or even loss. A crown prevents that by reinforcing what remains.
You might need a crown if you have:
Traditional crowns require two visits — one to prepare the tooth and fit a temporary, another weeks later once the lab returns the final crown. That means time off work, a fragile temporary in between, and the inconvenience of coming back.
With our in-house ceramic milling, we design and craft your crown while you wait. No temporary. No second appointment. You leave with the final restoration.
Our crowns are all-ceramic — no metal core, which means no dark line at the gumline, and a finish that's difficult to distinguish from your natural teeth.
For most patients, a ceramic crown can be designed and fitted in a single visit using our in-house milling technology. Ideal when the tooth needs full coverage but doesn't require complex cosmetic work.
For cases requiring intricate shade matching, layered ceramics, or specialised materials, we work with an external dental laboratory. This typically requires two visits, with a temporary crown worn in between.
When the damage doesn't extend across the full biting surface, a partial restoration may be sufficient. These preserve more of your natural tooth while still providing strength and protection.
Note: For your broad understanding only — steps differ between patients. After consultation, your dentist will provide a detailed, customised treatment plan.
We assess the tooth to confirm a crown is the right solution. If so, we prepare the tooth — removing damaged areas and shaping it to receive the crown.
We then take a digital scan (no messy impressions) to capture the exact shape needed.
Using the scan, we design your crown on screen — adjusting shape, contour, and fit. The design is then sent to our in-house milling unit, which carves the crown from a ceramic block while you wait.
Once milled, we try the crown in place, checking the fit and adjusting the bite as needed. When everything feels right, we bond it permanently and polish to a natural finish.
You leave the clinic with your final crown — no temporary, no second visit. You can eat normally straight away.
With good oral hygiene, most crowns last 10–15 years — often longer. We'll show you how to care for it to maximise its lifespan.
Yes. The ceramic is carefully shade-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth. Because there's no metal core, there's no dark line at the gumline — just a natural-looking finish.
For most patients, yes. Same-day ceramic crowns are highly durable and suitable for everyday function. In complex cases — heavy grinding, highly visible front teeth requiring layered aesthetics — we may recommend a lab-made crown instead.
We use local anaesthesia during tooth preparation, so you won't feel pain — just some pressure. Most patients find it straightforward and comfortable.
Yes. Once the crown is bonded, it's fully functional. You can eat normally the same day.
Convenience, mainly. No temporary crown, no second visit, no weeks of waiting. For most restorations, the clinical outcome is equivalent. We'll advise if your case would benefit from a lab-made approach.
A crown is only as good as the eye designing it and the hands fitting it. Same-day technology handles the manufacturing — but the shape, contour, and bite still depend on clinical judgement honed over thousands of cases.
