What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-coloured cap that’s fitted over an existing tooth or abutment from an implant. It covers up cracks, chipped edges, poor alignment, and stains. At our cosmetic dental clinic in Melbourne, we customise each crown to resemble the natural texture, colour, and shape of your teeth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Restores Damaged Teeth
The greatest advantage of getting dental crowns is that they restore your damaged teeth by acting as a shield. By covering your damaged or decaying tooth, a crown can protect it from further wear.
Prevents Tooth Loss
By stabilising damaged, weaker teeth, a crown can prevent them from deteriorating further. This reduces the chances of needing a tooth extraction and implant. You’re able to retain a complete, functional smile as a result.
Improves Overall Appearance
Custom-made crowns that blend in with your surrounding teeth also improve your smile. They effectively cover up poor alignment, worn-down teeth, chipped edges, and discolouration. This can encourage you to smile with confidence.
Minimises Tooth Sensitivity
By covering damaged or decaying teeth, dental crowns insulate them from hot and cold stimuli. This reduces their sensitivity and provides relief for teeth that are sensitive after getting a root canal.
More Comfort
Dental crowns retain the natural shape and size of your teeth, correcting bite issues and reducing discomfort. This makes speaking and chewing much more comfortable than with worn down teeth.
Am I Eligible for Dental Crowns?
You may need a dental crown in the following situations:
You have a very weak tooth that’s at risk of breaking.
Your teeth are stained, cracked, or have gaps between them.
You’ve recently gotten a root canal and are experiencing increased tooth sensitivity.
Your tooth is too damaged to support a composite filling.
Types of Crowns
During the initial consultation, your cosmetic dentist will walk you through different types of crowns available. They’ll also recommend the most suitable type for your specific case:
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain dental crowns are one of the most popular choices for dental crowns because of their durability. They’re very strong, give off the most natural look, and allow a closer shade match with your existing teeth. Our experienced cosmetic dentists in Melbourne recommend porcelain crowns for visible teeth.
Ceramic Crowns
While they’re not as strong, ceramic crowns look very much like your natural tooth enamel. They also don’t have any metal edges, which tend to show when gums recede. Ceramic crowns are recommended for the front teeth.
Composite Resin Crowns
Composite resin is commonly used for dental fillings and dental professionals can customise it to match the appearance of your surrounding teeth. If you have a sensitivity towards porcelain or metal crowns, our dental experts recommend choosing composite crowns.
Metal Crowns
Metal alloy crowns are the strongest type, so they take longer to wear down than porcelain and ceramic crowns. They’re the least likely to break, so they require fewer replacements. The only disadvantage is that they don’t give the natural look people want, so they’re preferred for covering molars.

Is a crown different from veneers?
