When it comes to dental care, Value Dental Centres is committed to providing the highest quality services at the most affordable prices. One of our standout offerings is our same-day crowns, a revolutionary service that combines cutting-edge technology with exceptional results. If you’ve ever had to endure the lengthy process of getting a traditional crown, you’ll be amazed at how our same-day crowns can transform your dental experience!

Why Same-Day Crowns Are a Game-Changer

Affordability

At Value Dental Centres, we believe that quality dental care should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer our same-day crowns for just $899 (back teeth), a fraction of the cost compared to the Australian average. In cities like Sydney, where dental crowns can cost upwards of $2,000, our pricing is a game-changer for Australians seeking high-quality dental care without breaking the bank.

No More Inconvenient and Uncomfortable Temporary Crowns!

Traditionally, getting a crown would have a 2-3 week wait between the prep appointment and the crown insert appointment while it was sent to a lab to be made. During this time, you would typically have a temporary crown, which can be quite uncomfortable and annoying. Made from less durable materials, they are prone to breaking or falling off, causing inconvenience and potential discomfort. They don’t fit as precisely as permanent crowns, leading to possible irritation of the surrounding gums which can make cementing the final crown more challenging! Additionally, the use of temporary crowns necessitates multiple dental visits and prolonged treatment times, which can be stressful and time-consuming. By opting for same-day crowns at Value Dental Centres, we eliminate the need for temporary crowns altogether. Our advanced technology allows us to create and fit your permanent crown in just a single visit!

Blends Naturally With Your Existing Teeth

Our crowns are made from high-quality ceramic materials. They are metal-free and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Historically, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns have been a popular choice in dentistry, as the metal core provided a sturdy foundation while the porcelain overlay made it look better than a full metal crown. However, the metal base of PFM crowns, while stronger than all-ceramic crowns, can often show through as a dark line at the gumline, and the porcelain overlay can chip or fracture.  These chips or fractures usually expose the metal underneath making it look poor, and is impossible to repair back to it’s originally strength and appearance. Our same day crowns are made with either a highly aesthetic high strength Zirconia or glass ceramic which beautifully matches natural tooth shade and translucency.  The material is milled, polished and sintered, resulting in a strong, one piece crown which looks great and has very low incidence of fractures.

Less Visits to the Dentist!

With our same-day crowns, the entire process typically takes only 2 hours. By completing the entire procedure in a single visit, we eliminate the need for multiple appointments and the hassle of dealing with temporary crowns. This not only saves you time but also reduces the number times we need to numb you up, reducing the overall discomfort typically associated with traditional crown procedures. You can get back to your daily routine with minimal disruption, enjoying your restored smile almost immediately.

State-of-the-Art Technology

We pride ourselves on using the latest dental technology to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Our state-of-the-art 3D scanner allows us to take precise digital impressions of your teeth, eliminating the discomfort of traditional moulds. These digital impressions are then combined with cutting edge software to design your custom crown with pinpoint accuracy to create a perfect fit and long-lasting durability.

Watch Your Crown Being Made

One of the unique features of our same-day crown service is that you can watch your crown being crafted in real-time from the waiting room! Our advanced milling machine, located in our clinic lab, creates your crown right before your eyes. This allows you to see the high level of care and precision that goes into every crown we make. It’s a fascinating process that enhances your understanding and appreciation of modern dental technology and makes small waiting time fly by! 

Improved Oral Health

Receiving a crown promptly can help protect your tooth from further damage and keeps your gums nice and healthy. By addressing dental issues quickly and efficiently, you can maintain better oral health and avoid more complex and costly treatments in the future. Our same-day crowns provide an effective solution to restore the function and appearance of your tooth, promoting overall oral health.
