What Is the Process for a Dental Crown?

Hey there, it’s Dr. Tony from Smile Lounge in Narre Warren!

So, last week, my patient Nick from Berwick walked in with a cracked tooth. Totally stressed—worried fixing it would take forever or cost a fortune. Sound familiar? But here’s the thing: we got him sorted in a single visit. No drama, no weeks of waiting. Just a strong, natural-looking crown. Let me show you how it works.

  1. Let’s Figure Out What You Really Need.

    First, we’ll take a good look at that tooth. Is a crown the right move? If it’s cracked, worn down, or has a filling that’s seen better days, a crown’s like a superhero cape for your tooth—keeps it strong and doing its job. We’ll skip the “maybe this’ll work” stuff (fillings, patches) and go straight to what actually works and lasts.

  2. Prep Work (Don’t Worry, It’s Gentle).

    Next, we gently sculpt your tooth so the crown fits like your favorite sneaker. No pain, no fuss. And forget those gross, gaggy molds from the 90s—we’ve got a slick 3D scanner that digitises your tooth in seconds. Easy as taking a selfie.

  3. Here’s Where It Gets Cool.

    If you’re going with our CEREC same-day crown, we design and craft your crown right here while you chill. Seriously—you can even peek at the design and say, “Nah, tweak that part!” It’s like a smile pit stop. In and out in one visit, no second trip.

    If a same-day crowns isn’t the best option for you, No sweat. We send your scan to Melbourne’s top dental lab (these folks are artists), and you’ll be fitted with a temporary crown that’s still tough enough to handle a steak dinner.

  4. Lock It In & Own That Smile.

    When your crown’s ready, we secure it snugly—no clunky glue, no weird feels. Just a natural, strong tooth that lets you eat, laugh, and live without thinking twice. Nick left grinning like he’d just aced a job interview. And you can too.

You don’t have to settle for “good enough” or drag out the process. Whether it’s a same-day fix or a custom masterpiece, we’re here to make it easy.
