Dental Crowns
What is a dental crown?
A dental cap crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over the entire visible part of a tooth. Think of it as a protective jacket that reinforces a tooth’s structure while restoring its original shape, size, and strength.
We provide dental crown services Melbourne locals trust to restore cracked teeth and protect their dental health for the long term. Once permanently bonded into place, a premium dental crown is virtually indistinguishable from your surrounding teeth. Our goal is a crown restoration that feels completely natural, which might mean a ceramic tooth crown for a seamless aesthetic finish or a high-noble metal for added durability.
Key benefits of a dental crown
A tooth crown procedure does more than just “fix” a tooth — it provides essential structural support.
- A crown after root canal treatment can prevent the tooth from cracking.
- Restore cracked teeth or those that have been severely worn down.
- Support a tooth with a large tooth filling when there isn’t enough natural enamel left
- Cover a dental implant to replace a missing tooth.
- Provide the anchor for a dental crown bridge or partial dentures.
Offering a natural aesthetic match, full porcelain restorations are often the preferred choice for front teeth. This biocompatible material mimics the translucency of natural enamel and is highly resistant to wear, ensuring your premium dental crown remains virtually undetectable from your surrounding teeth.
Known for their exceptional strength and durability, zirconia crowns are an ideal functional dental restoration for back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces. This advanced ceramic material is resistant to chipping or cracking, providing a long-lasting solution for patients who require maximum structural reinforcement.
Gold and high-noble metal alloys provide a level of longevity and “fit” that is prized in restorative dental care. Because gold expands and contracts similarly to natural tooth structure and requires the least amount of enamel removal, it is often recommended as a premium dental crown for out-of-sight molars.

Aftercare and maintenance for your dental crown
A dental cap crown requires the same level of care as a natural tooth. While the crown itself cannot decay, the tooth beneath it (and the surrounding gum tissue) remains susceptible to disease.
We recommend brushing twice daily, flossing around the base of the crown, and maintaining regular check-ups at our studio. With a consistent hygiene routine, your crown can last between 5 and 15 years — or even longer.
