How We Help
Full Protection for a Compromised Tooth
A dental crown encases the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, strength and appearance. It's one of the most versatile and reliable restorations in dentistry — and with modern porcelain, the result is completely indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
We use porcelain and ceramic crowns exclusively — avoiding the black lines that can appear under older metallic crowns. Each crown is designed in collaboration with Sydney ceramicists who match the exact shade, shape and translucency of your surrounding teeth.
Crowns are especially important after root canal treatment, where the tooth becomes more brittle and vulnerable to fracture. Placing a crown promptly protects the investment of the root canal and gives the tooth the strength to last for many more years.
Affordable, with health fund rebates available. Crown costs vary depending on the tooth and complexity — we'll provide a full quote at your consultation.
The Process
What to Expect at Your Crown Appointments
Two appointments, one to two weeks apart — and a restored tooth that lasts for years.
Crown Selection
We assess your tooth and select the best crown material — porcelain, ceramic or zirconia — based on strength requirements and aesthetics.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is shaped under local anaesthetic to accept the crown. Precise impressions are taken and sent to our specialist ceramicists.
Temporary Crown
A temporary plastic crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is being crafted — typically over one to two weeks.
Permanent Fitting
The finished crown is checked for fit, appearance and bite before being permanently cemented. The result looks and feels like a natural tooth.

FAQs
Common Questions
A crown is recommended when a tooth has extensive decay that can't be adequately restored with a filling, when a tooth is cracked or fractured, after root canal treatment to prevent the tooth from fracturing, or when a tooth is severely worn or discoloured. Crowns also anchor dental bridges.
Typically two appointments. At the first visit we prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown. The permanent crown is fabricated over one to two weeks and fitted at the second appointment.
Yes. Our porcelain and ceramic crowns are crafted by specialist ceramicists to match the colour, shape and translucency of your surrounding teeth. Most people won't be able to tell the difference from a natural tooth.
It's common to experience some sensitivity to cold food and drinks in the first few weeks after crown placement. This typically settles on its own. If sensitivity persists or worsens, contact us.
Porcelain crowns typically last 10–15 years with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. With excellent care, many crowns last considerably longer.
