How We Improve Your Dental Function With Crowns
At our cosmetic dental clinic in the Sunshine Coast, we help restore the functionality of your teeth with quality dental crowns. In as little as two visits to our clinic, you’ll have a natural looking crown that lets you smile with confidence that protects your tooth from further damage.
Tooth Preparation
After completing your complimentary consultation and discussing your different options, our experienced cosmetic dentists will examine and prepare your tooth. This means cleaning and shaping the tooth so that the crown can fit on top.
Teeth Impression
Once tooth preparation is complete, we use the latest technologies to take an impression of your teeth. These impressions are sent to our lab, where our expert dental technicians will start working on your final dental crowns.
Temporary Crown
While your permanent crowns are getting ready, your cosmetic dentist will place a temporary crown over your tooth to protect it.
Permanent Crown
At your next appointment, your dentist will fit your permanent dental crown over the prepared tooth to ensure that the bite and fit are perfect. Once your bite is adjusted, they’ll cement the crown in place.
When You Need Dental Crowns in Sunshine Coast
There are plenty of reasons our Sunshine Coast cosmetic dentists recommend getting dental crowns:
If your tooth is weakened because of injury and decay, a dental crown is recommended to protect it from further damage.
If a tooth is chipped, broken, or cracked, fitting a crown can restore its appearance and functionality.
If you’ve gotten a root canal done, we recommend getting a dental crown to prevent bacteria from spreading to surrounding teeth and to strengthen the tooth.
If your teeth havee poor alignment, stains, or discolouration, dental crowns can cover them.
Benefits Of a Dental Crown in the Sunshine Coast
Here are some of the benefits of getting a dental crown:
Greater Strength And Durability
Dental crowns reinforce teeth that are weakened by decay or fractures, providing robust, long-lasting protection so they can handle daily tasks like chewing hard foods without worry.
Better Appearance
Custom-made to blend in seamlessly with surrounding teeth, crowns improve the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or worn-down teeth, offering a natural, attractive look.
Comfort and Function
Crowns restore the natural shape and size of your tooth, helping to correct bite issues, alleviate discomfort, and make chewing and speaking easier and more comfortable.
Protection For Damaged Teeth
By acting as a shield, crowns fully cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. They prevent further wear and guard your tooth against potential fractures or infections.
Prevents Tooth Loss
Crowns stabilize your weakened teeth and prevent further deterioration, which can reduce the risk of tooth extraction and give you a more complete, functional smile.
Types of Dental Crowns
Crowns are usually made from
- Ceramic, also known as non-metal crowns, are strong and give your teeth a natural appearance.
- Metal alloy, like stainless steel or gold, which makes the crown highly durable and strong. The disadvantage is that they’re metallic in colour, so they don’t have the natural look that porcelain gives.
- Porcelain fused to metal means that the crown has a metal core with a porcelain coating on the outside. This gives it added strength while maintaining a natural look.

Taking Care of Your Dental Crown
Your dental crown can last a long time if you take care of it properly. Though your porcelain or ceramic crown can’t decay like a natural tooth, the edge of the tooth is still your natural tooth, so it’s at risk of decay. It’s important that you maintain consistent oral hygiene practices and visit your dentist on a regular basis after getting a crown fitting. This ensures that your crown has the maximum lifespan.

FAQs
Does it hurt to get a crown?
The process of getting your new crown should be painless. Our Sunshine Coast cosmetic dentists use localised anesthesia around the mouth, so you won’t feel any discomfort while they set your crown. At most, you’ll feel some slight discomfort. As family-friendly dentists, our specialists can help you feel at ease, even if you feel anxious about dental procedures.
How long do crowns last?
How long your dental crown lasts depends on how well you take care of your teeth and the material it’s made from. Generally, a dental crown’s lifespan can range from 4 to 20 years depending on what it’s made of. If you get metal or porcelain crowns, they’ll last much longer, while resin or ceramic crowns may not last as long.
Poor dental habits like grinding your teeth can reduce the lifespan of your crown. Your oral hygiene matters, too. If you let the gums become infected, it can affect the health of your
Can I get a veneer instead of a crown?
While dental crowns cover your entire teeth like a cap, veneers are thin overlays placed on the front of your teeth. They’re recommended for cosmetic reasons, so they don’t protect your damaged tooth. If your tooth is cracked, weakened or heavily decayed, you’ll need a dental crown.
Do crowns look natural?
As long as you follow your dentist;s advice and select the right type of crown, you’ll get a new cap that matches the rest of your teeth. However, you should also consider the placement of your crown. If you’re getting crowns in the molars and other back teeth, you can choose a cost-effective crown since it won’t be visible. Many people get metal crowns for their back teeth as they provide impressive functioning But if you’re getting a crown for a front tooth, you’re strongly recommended to choose a porcelain or ceramic crown, as they give off a natural look.
