The basics
What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the whole visible part of a tooth. Dental crowns, also called dental caps, are used to restore teeth that are broken, weakened by decay or hold a very large filling. The crown rebuilds the natural shape, size and strength of the tooth, and is shaded to blend with the teeth around it.

A custom-made dental crown covers the tooth completely, so a well fitted crown lets you bite and chew normally again while protecting what remains of the natural tooth underneath.

Is a crown right for you
When a dental crown is recommended

A crown is often the right choice when a filling is no longer enough to protect or rebuild a tooth. Your dentist will recommend dental crown treatment after assessing the tooth. Common reasons include:

Broken or cracked teeth

Restore a broken, cracked or heavily worn tooth and hold the remaining structure together so it can take normal biting force again.

After root canal treatment

A crown after root canal protects and caps the restored tooth, so you can eat and bite down on it much like a real tooth.

Large or discoloured fillings

Replace a tooth with a very large filling, or improve the look of an old discoloured filling, for a stronger and more even smile.

Anchor a bridge or denture

Crowns can help hold a dental bridge or denture firmly in place to replace a missing tooth.

A tooth that feels unreliable

If a tooth feels weak or you avoid chewing on one side, a crown can restore confidence in your bite without removing the tooth.

Topping a dental implant

A crown can be made to sit on a dental implant, completing the restoration of a missing tooth. More on this below.

Our approach
Custom ceramic crowns

We focus on custom ceramic crowns, made in a dental laboratory to fit your tooth precisely and match the shade of your neighbouring teeth. A full ceramic crown looks natural and rebuilds the tooth so it functions much like the one it replaces.

Other crown options are also available, and your dentist will talk through what suits your tooth at your consultation. Every recommendation is based on an individual clinical assessment, not a one size fits all package.

Step by step
The dental crown procedure

Your dental crown treatment is completed over two visits. Here is how the process works from the first impression to the day your crown is fitted.
1
Visit one · about one hour

Preparation and impression

We take an impression of the tooth that needs restoring and prepare the tooth so the crown will sit securely. The impression is sent to the dental laboratory where your crown is custom made to fit precisely and match your neighbouring teeth.

2
Visit two · about thirty minutes

Fitting your crown

At the second visit the finished crown is checked for shade, shape and bite, then fitted securely on top of the prepared tooth. Once bonded and adjusted, you can bite and chew on it as part of your normal smile.

Why patients choose a crown
Strong, natural looking crowns

Strengthens the tooth

A crown strengthens the remaining tooth structure so a weakened tooth is protected from further damage.

Looks natural

Shade and shape are selected to blend with the surrounding teeth for a seamless, natural looking restoration.

Functions like a real tooth

Once fitted, a crown lets you bite and chew as usual, restoring your natural bite and everyday confidence.

Restoring a missing tooth
Dental implant crowns

When a tooth is missing, a crown can be made to sit on top of a dental implant rather than a natural tooth. Dental implant crowns complete the restoration, giving you a replacement tooth that looks and functions naturally.

If you are exploring tooth replacement, our team can talk you through single tooth implants and how the crown finishes the result. Suitability is always confirmed at a clinical consultation.

Answers
Dental crowns and caps: common questions

What is a dental crown, and what does it do?

A dental crown, often called a dental cap, is a custom-made restoration that fits over the whole visible part of a damaged tooth. It restores the natural shape, size, strength and appearance of teeth that are broken, weakened by decay or hold a very large filling.

When is a crown recommended over a filling?

A crown is usually recommended when there is not enough healthy tooth left for a filling to protect, when a tooth is heavily broken or worn, to protect a tooth after root canal treatment, to improve a discoloured filling, or to anchor a bridge or denture. Your dentist confirms the right option after assessing the tooth.

How does the dental crown procedure work?

Treatment takes two visits. At the first visit we take an impression and prepare the tooth, and the crown is custom made in a dental laboratory. At the second visit the finished crown is checked and fitted securely on top of the prepared tooth.

How long does a crown appointment take?

The preparation visit takes about one hour, and the fitting visit is around thirty minutes.

How much does a dental crown cost in Melbourne?

As a guide, our full ceramic implant crown starts from $1,900. This is a guide price only, and your final quote is provided after an initial consultation. If you are comparing options, remember that cheap dental crowns in Melbourne are not always the best value over the long term, which is why we focus on a precise, natural looking ceramic result. Payment plans and health fund rebates may help with the cost.

How long do dental crowns last?

How long a crown lasts depends on the tooth, your bite and how well you care for it. Good daily oral hygiene and regular dental check ups help a crown last well. Your dentist can give you guidance for your situation, and no outcome can be guaranteed.

Will my crown match my teeth?

Yes. The shade and shape are selected to blend with your surrounding teeth so the crown looks like a natural part of your smile.

Can a crown fall off?

With correct bonding and bite adjustment, a crown coming loose is rare. If it does happen, it can usually be recemented by your dentist.

Can I find dental crowns near me at your clinic?

Yes. If you are searching for dental crowns near me in the Melbourne area, our practice provides custom ceramic crowns. Call 03 9077 6363 or book an appointment to arrange a consultation.
