A tooth that’s chipped, damaged or decayed, left untreated, can lead to infection, or worse – removal. And a discoloured tooth? It can mess with your self-confidence and willingness to smile. Both circumstances can cause significant unease and discomfort. There’s a simple solution though – a dental crown and even better – paid for using our interest-free payment plans.
Your dental crown procedure – you’re in safe hands
Time
Our Chelsea Heights dentist will place your dental crown over two visits. The first will see us prepare the tooth and the second for the fitting of your permanent crown.
Price
The cost for a dental crown with us starts from $1,700 – which can be paid for using our interest-free payment plans.
Recovery
Your recovery will be swift – any discomfort coming from your newly crowned tooth can be relieved by over-the-counter pain medication.
How we’ll place your ceramic dental crown
1
Identifying the problem tooth
At your first appointment our dentist will take x-rays of your teeth to confirm the extent of the damage and identify what tooth or teeth require ceramic crowns.
2
A handcrafted solution
Our dentist will then prepare the damaged tooth by shaving it down and taking an impression, which our off-site ceramicist will use to handcraft your new ceramic crown. We’ll then fit you with a temporary crown to protect the tooth.
3
Placing the crown
Within two-three weeks your new dental crown will have been custom-made, we’ll then welcome you back to our clinic, and affix it to your tooth. Your tooth is now protected and looking just like your normal, natural teeth. Smile away!
A dental crown helps to fix and protect damaged teeth, and our dental crown price shouldn’t cause damage to your bank balance. And with our interest-free payment plans – it won’t!
Decide on the payment plan details including the deposit, amount and frequency of payments with your dentist and complete the simple, direct debit form
It is a tooth-coloured dental ‘cap’ made of ceramic designed to protect a tooth, by fitting over the top of it, rather than extracting it.
What are dental crowns used for?
They are used to prevent further damage to a tooth that has been chipped, broken or decayed, and to restore a tooth’s appearance. Dental crowns are also used to further seal a tooth that’s undergone root canal treatment, or to address a cavity that cannot be protected with a large dental filling.
How much is a dental crown?
Our ceramic crowns start from $1,700 per tooth and can be paid for using our interest-free payment plans.
What is a dental crown bridge?
A dental crown bridge is used to literally ‘bridge’ the gap of a missing, or soon-to-be-removed tooth. Teeth on each side of the gap are given crowns, and are joined together by a prosthetic tooth (to fill the hole) on the one dental bridge.
Are there any disadvantages of dental crowns I should know about?
Rarely dental crowns might chip or dislodge (for which you should come see us immediately) and some people have reported hot/cold discomfort of the crowned tooth. If you have an allergic reaction to your newly placed crown, or experience any bleeding gums or signs of infection, please call us right away.
