  "content": "A damaged or broken tooth no longer means multiple appointments over several weeks. At Core Dental South Melbourne, our CEREC technology allows us to design, mill, and fit a custom porcelain dental crown in a single visit - typically in under two hours.\n\n**What Is CEREC?**\n\nCEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is an advanced CAD/CAM dental system that combines digital scanning, computer-aided design, and in-practice ceramic milling to create precision-fitted crowns without the need for a dental laboratory.\n\nTraditional crowns require two appointments: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second two to three weeks later to fit the permanent crown. In between, you wear a temporary crown that can come loose or feel uncomfortable.\n\nWith CEREC, the entire process happens in a single appointment at Core Dental South Melbourne.\n\n**The CEREC Process**\n\n1. **Preparation** - Your dentist prepares the tooth and takes a digital scan using our intraoral camera. No uncomfortable putty impressions are required.\n2. **Design** - The CEREC software creates a 3D model of your tooth. Your dentist designs the crown on-screen, customising the shape and bite in real time.\n3. **Milling** - The crown is milled from a high-quality ceramic block right here in our practice - while you relax.\n4. **Fitting** - Your new crown is tried for fit and adjusted as needed, then bonded permanently in place. Your bite is checked and refined before you leave.\n\n**Same-Day CEREC Crowns From $1,600**\n\nCEREC crowns at Core Dental South Melbourne start from $1,600. The exact price depends on which tooth is being restored and the complexity of the preparation. A written quote is always provided before treatment proceeds.\n\n**Benefits of CEREC Crowns**\n\n- Completed in one visit - no temporary crown, no second appointment\n- No uncomfortable traditional impressions\n- High-strength porcelain matched to your natural tooth colour\n- Precision fit achieved through digital design\n- Immediate protection for damaged or cracked teeth\n- Ideal for patients with busy schedules or dental anxiety\n\n**When Is a Crown Needed?**\n\nDental crowns are recommended for:\n\n- Teeth with large decay that cannot support a filling\n- Cracked or fractured teeth\n- Teeth that have had root canal treatment (crown protects the brittle tooth)\n- Broken teeth or teeth with significant structural damage\n- Covering a dental implant\n\nCore Dental South Melbourne is conveniently accessible by tram and located near South Melbourne Market on Market Street. Our CEREC technology is supported by a full digital imaging suite, ensuring crowns are designed with precision from the first scan.\n\n**HICAPS On-Site**\n\nWe have HICAPS on-site for immediate health fund claiming. Most private health funds with extras cover provide a rebate for dental crowns.\n\n**Payright Interest-Free Payment Plans**\n\nPayright interest-free plans are available at Core Dental South Melbourne, allowing you to spread the cost of your crown over up to 30 months with no interest.\n\nSouth Melbourne's diverse community includes many patients who prefer to be seen in their first language - our team offers CEREC crown consultations in Mandarin, Malay, and Cantonese, so treatment options and expectations are always clearly understood.
