What makes a CEREC Crown different?
CEREC crowns offer a faster, more convenient way to restore your tooth without compromising on quality. At Plaza Dental, we use advanced CEREC technology to design, create, and place your custom ceramic crown in just one visit. That means no messy impressions, no temporary crowns, and no second appointment. Each crown is digitally designed to match your natural tooth, then milled on-site from strong, tooth-coloured ceramic. The result is a durable, beautifully fitted restoration that blends seamlessly into your smile and gets you back to feeling like yourself sooner.
Need a crown without the wait?
When life is busy, multiple appointments for a dental crown can feel like a hassle. That’s where CEREC crowns shine. Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, had a root canal, or need to protect a heavily filled tooth, CEREC offers a convenient, high-quality solution. And the best part? It’s all done in a single visit, right here in Mackay.
A CEREC crown may be right for you if you:
- Have a broken, cracked, or weakened tooth that needs protection
- Want a custom-made crown in just one appointment
- Prefer a restoration that is tooth-coloured and metal-free
- Need a crown as part of another treatment, like after a root canal
- Value precision, comfort, and convenience in your dental care
- Want a strong, natural-looking result without temporary crowns or delays
At Plaza Dental, we use advanced CEREC technology to restore your smile with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. During your visit, we’ll assess your needs, explain your options clearly, and create a crown that fits beautifully and lasts. It’s dental care designed around your day.
From weakened tooth to same-day crown
We make sure every step is comfortable, efficient, and tailored to you.

Getting to know your tooth
We will begin with a thorough examination and a chat about your options. If a crown is recommended, we will explain exactly how the CEREC process works and what to expect.

Preparing your tooth
We will gently prepare your tooth by removing any old fillings, decay, or damage and shaping it to receive the crown. We take care to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Digital Smile Design
Instead of using messy impressions, we will scan your tooth with a small, comfortable digital scanner. Using this scan, we will design your crown digitally, ensuring a precise fit and natural look.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a CEREC crown last?
With proper care, a CEREC crown can last many years, similar to traditional crowns. On average, crowns last between 10 to 15 years, but some last even longer with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
Don’t worry, we will keep an eye on your crown during your routine visits to make sure it stays in great shape!
Does a CEREC crown look natural?
Yes, absolutely. CEREC crowns are made from high-quality ceramic and are carefully matched to the colour and shape of your natural teeth. The digital design process helps us make sure it fits seamlessly with your smile. Once placed, most people won’t even notice which tooth has a crown.
Is the same-day process rushed or less durable?
Not at all. While the crown is made in a single visit, the technology we use is highly accurate and produces crowns with excellent strength and fit. In fact, CEREC crowns often have fewer adjustment issues than traditionally made crowns. We take the time to get everything just right before you leave.
