Dental Crowns

Every tooth in your mouth plays a part in how you bite, speak and smile. Once a single tooth is cracked, worn down or weakened, it can put extra strain on the teeth around it and affect your whole bite over time. A dental crown offers a durable, long-lasting way to rebuild that tooth’s strength, shape and appearance, so the rest of your smile stays protected too.

What is a Dental Crown?

A crown is a custom-made cap, crafted from porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or gold, that fits snugly over a tooth once it’s been prepared. Crowns are recommended when a tooth has too much damage for a standard filling to fix, or when it needs extra reinforcement to stop a crack or fracture from getting worse.

Common reasons we recommend a crown:

  • Teeth that are cracked or broken
  • Teeth with large, extensive fillings
  • Protecting a tooth after root canal treatment
  • Improving the shape, size or colour of a tooth for cosmetic reasons
  • Replacing an old or failing crown

Crowns aren’t just functional, they’re also designed to look natural and blend beautifully with the rest of your smile.

Treatment Options for Crowns

We offer several types of crowns so your dentist can match the material to your needs:

  • Porcelain crowns, for a natural, tooth-like appearance
  • Zirconia crowns, valued for their strength and long-term durability
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, which add extra reinforcement for back teeth
  • Full gold crowns, exceptionally hard-wearing and best suited to molars, where they’re less visible

Your dentist will talk you through which material suits your tooth best, taking into account how much strength it needs, where it sits in your mouth and how it will look.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Strengthens and protects a weakened tooth
  • Rebuilds the tooth’s natural shape, size and function
  • Makes chewing more comfortable
  • Delivers a natural-looking, aesthetic result
  • Built to last, with long-term durability
  • Helps prevent further cracking or tooth loss
  • Adds stability to a tooth after root canal therapy

How Crown Treatment Works

  1. Consultation and Assessment Your dentist assesses the affected tooth, talks through your options and confirms whether a crown is the right treatment for you.

  2. Tooth Preparation The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown, then a digital scan or impression is taken to guide the design.

  3. Temporary Crown A temporary crown is fitted to protect the prepared tooth while your permanent crown is custom-made.

  4. Final Crown Placement Once ready, your custom crown is tried in, checked for fit and bite, then permanently bonded into place.

Dental Crowns FAQs

How long does a dental crown last?

Cared for properly, most crowns last around 10 to 15 years, and often longer.

Yes. Porcelain and zirconia crowns are colour-matched so they blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
No. We use local anaesthetic to keep the procedure comfortable, and any sensitivity afterwards is usually mild and temporary.
Often, yes. A crown helps protect a tooth that’s had root canal treatment, since it can become more brittle afterwards.
Brush and floss daily, steer clear of biting down on very hard foods, and keep up with your regular dental check-ups so we can monitor it.

We are preferred providers for HCF, CBHS and NIB, with on-the-spot claiming available for all health funds. Benefits and coverage vary depending on your policy.
