Cosmetic Dentistry
A dental crown can help strengthen and restore a tooth that has been weakened, heavily filled, cracked or damaged. Each crown is carefully designed to fit your tooth, restore function and complement your natural smile.
We’ll assess the tooth first, explain the treatment options available and provide a clear estimate before you decide how you’d like to proceed.
Meet with one of our dentists to assess your tooth and discuss whether a crown may be the right treatment for you. We’ll explain what’s involved, answer your questions and talk you through the next steps before any treatment is planned.
We accept all health funds.

The basics
A dental crown is a custom made restoration that fits over a tooth that has been weakened, cracked, heavily filled or worn down. It helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength and function so you can bite and chew comfortably again.
We’ll carefully plan the crown to suit your tooth and surrounding smile, including the shape and shade. We carefully design each crown to feel comfortable, function well and look as natural as possible.
Why patients choose a crown
A crown can help protect a tooth that has been cracked, heavily filled or weakened, reducing the risk of further damage.
Your crown is carefully shaped and shade-matched to complement the surrounding teeth and sit naturally within your smile.
By rebuilding the tooth’s shape, a crown can help improve the way you bite and chew, so the tooth feels more comfortable to use again.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, a well fitted crown can provide reliable function for many years.
What to expect
We check the tooth, talk through whether a crown is the best option, and give you an itemised quote before anything begins.
The tooth is gently shaped so the crown will fit flush, and we take precise scans, sedation is there if you’d like it.
Your custom crown is made and carefully shade-matched while you wear a comfortable temporary.
We bond the finished crown in place, check the bite feels right, and you leave with a fully restored tooth.
Individual results vary. The outcome of any treatment depends on your own circumstances, and your dentist will discuss what is realistic for you.

Good to know
We’ll do everything we can to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and we’ll check in with you along the way.
If you’re feeling particularly anxious, IV sedation may also be available to help you feel more relaxed during the appointment.
Dental crowns can last for many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental care, although this can vary depending on the tooth, your bite and everyday habits. We’ll show you how to care for your crown and what to look out for over time.
The cost of a dental crown can vary depending on the tooth, the material used and your individual treatment needs.
After your assessment, we’ll provide a clear, itemised estimate and talk you through the costs before you decide how you’d like to proceed. Third-party payment options may also be available, subject to eligibility and provider terms.
We’ll carefully choose the shade and shape of your crown to suit your surrounding teeth and your overall smile. The goal is for it to look natural, feel comfortable and sit seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
It depends on how much of the tooth has been damaged or weakened. A filling may be suitable for a smaller area, while a crown may be recommended when the tooth needs more support and protection. We’ll assess the tooth carefully and explain the options so you understand why a crown or filling may be the better choice for you.
