A dentist for Chipping Norton, on Nuwarra Rd

Crowns in one visit, in suitable cases

If a tooth is cracked, heavily filled or broken, your dentist may suggest a crown. At Moorebank, a CEREC same-day crown may be possible in suitable cases: the tooth is prepared and scanned, the crown is milled in the practice and fitted about 1 to 2 hours later. You can wait or come back.

Not every tooth suits a same-day crown. Your dentist will tell you at the consultation, and explain the other options, including a conventional crown or a bridge.

Urgent problems

Call the clinic for severe or throbbing tooth pain, a tooth knocked loose or out, swelling of the face, jaw or neck, a broken crown, bridge or veneer, or bleeding that won’t settle after an injury. We prioritise dental pain and urgent cases throughout the day.

If you’re unsure, describe your symptoms on the phone and the team will tell you whether to come in now or book a regular appointment. After-hours help may be available depending on Dr Amgad’s availability: call the clinic and the call may be redirected to him.
