If you’ve been told you need a dental crown, you’re likely wondering about your options. At GP Dental Marion, we offer both traditional dental crowns and the more advanced CEREC restorations — and many of our patients across Adelaide are increasingly choosing CEREC for speed, precision, and convenience.

So, what’s the difference? And why is CEREC being hailed as the future of restorative dentistry?

A crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers a damaged, cracked, or decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after large fillings, root canal treatment, or to cover a dental implant.

Traditionally, this treatment has required multiple appointments and a temporary crown while your permanent one is made in an external lab.

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics. It’s a cutting-edge system that uses 3D digital scans, computer-aided design (CAD), and in-clinic milling to create a custom crown — all in a single appointment.

No temporary crowns. No repeat visits. Just fast, high-quality results while you relax in the dental chair.
