CEREC technology brings same-day crowns to Toowoomba, allowing you to walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a beautiful, permanent restoration in just one visit.

At The Forever Dental & Smile Centre, we're proud to introduce one of the most advanced pieces of dental technology — our state-of-the-art CEREC CAD/CAM system. This cutting-edge equipment allows us to design, mill, and personalise crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays in a single visit, without compromising on quality or strength.

What Are Dental Crowns and Why Do You Need One?

A dental crown is a protective cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line. Think of it as a helmet for your tooth—it restores strength, function, and appearance while protecting the underlying structure from further damage.

You might need a dental crown if you're experiencing any of these common dental issues:

• Following root canal treatment: A crown provides essential protection for a tooth that's been weakened by endodontic therapy.
• Large fillings: When fillings compromise significant tooth structure, a crown holds everything together.
• Cracked or broken teeth: Crowns repair damaged teeth and prevent further fracturing.
• Severe tooth decay: When decay extends beyond what a filling can address, a crown restores the tooth.
• Worn-down teeth: Crowns rebuild teeth that have been ground down, restoring proper bite function.
• Cosmetic improvements: Crowns can dramatically improve the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth.
  

Dental crowns restore both function and appearance, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

What Is CEREC and How Does the Technology Work?

CEREC stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics — a trusted digital dentistry system used worldwide for high-quality, long-lasting restorations. It brings the entire crown fabrication process chairside—right in our Toowoomba dental office.

With CEREC, your treatment involves:

• 3D Digital Scanning: We capture precise 3D images of your tooth, eliminating the need for messy impressions.
• Digital Design: Our dentists use specialised software (Computer-Aided Design) to digitally design your custom crown with precision.
• On-site Ceramic Milling: An in-office milling machine (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) sculpts your crown from a solid ceramic block.
• Immediate Placement: Your permanent restoration is bonded in place, so you walk out with a fully restored smile the same day.

Tailored Materials for Every Tooth

We proudly offer:

• High-strength Zirconia — ideal for back teeth and patients needing exceptional durability.
• High-aesthetic Lithium Disilicate (e.g., e.max) — perfect for front teeth, providing natural translucency and beauty.
• Hybrid and composite blocks — suitable for minimally invasive or temporary restorations.

This means every restoration is customised, precise, and built to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
