A single visit dental crowns is actually known as a one visit crown (OVC). This restorative dental treatment is suitable for patients looking to replace a chip, cracked, broken or discoloured tooth. Regularly described as a dentistry game-changer, the single visit crown provides patients with an efficient, fast and cost-effective way to repair and restore a tooth. The material used for a single visit crown is a strong ceramic tooth-coloured material that can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth. Seven benefits of a single visit dental crown Who doesn’t want a more affordable, aesthetically pleasing, healthy option to restore a damaged or discoloured tooth? At Hyde Park Dental Care, we offer the single visit dental crown from just $999. Here’s 7 reasons why you should consider this treatment: 1. Up to 50% cheaper than a laboratory made crown Because the single visit crown is fabricated in the dental practice, it can be up to 50% cheaper than a laboratory made crown. 2. One-hour appointment No uncomfortable impressions are required and the appointment is approximately one hour. 3. Better for the tooth This is a benefit because less tooth structure is removed for placement of the crown, which preserves the integrity of the tooth with a more minimally invasive procedure. 4. Protect the tooth For teeth that are brittle and have a high chance of cracking, the tooth can be protected with the placement of a one visit crown. 5. More suitable for broken tooth If you have a tooth that is mostly broken down but still has some retention with the tooth root, the one visit crown is often the best restorative option. This is due to its higher bond strength to a remaining tooth, whereas a full crown relies on tooth structure to function properly. 6. Treats general tooth wear due to bruxism For people who have a bruxism habit with general wear and tear on their teeth, a single visit crown is a great way to restore and rebuild the tooth and bite 7. Better than a large filling Where you may have had a large filling, the single visit crown can provide better support with less tooth structure removed. This option has the added benefit of providing more support to your tooth than a filling can offer.
