Dental Crowns Banksia Grove
Our dental crowns in Banksia Grove help restore teeth affected by damage, decay or significant wear.
Our experienced and friendly, local dentist can help you achieve a beautiful smile with dental crowns. Crafted with precision and care, dental crowns are tailored sheaths that fit seamlessly over your natural teeth, delivering durability, protection, and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Understanding dental crowns
Dental crowns are tailored shell that snugly covers your tooth. The shell is expertly designed to match your tooth’s shape and colour, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Crafted primarily from robust porcelain, dental crowns can also be fashioned from durable gold, perfect for molars responsible for chewing power.
Typically, dental crowns step in when your natural tooth is weakened, fractured, or damaged. They are equally proficient in addressing cosmetic concerns, such as misshapen or stained teeth. For instance, when conventional teeth whitening falls short, a dental crown can enhance your smile.
Advantages of a dental crown
A crown is an excellent solution to several problems and offers a variety of advantages.
- Protect a weak or damaged tooth: The key advantage of a dental crown is that it strengthens your tooth, avoiding further damage or issues that could arise due to a weakened tooth.
- Improved appearance: Dental crowns can cover misshapen or discoloured teeth for a brighter, whiter smile you can be confident in.
- Long lasting: With the right care, a dental crown is a long-lasting solution that you can forget about after you get it.

Unveiling the process
With our experienced dental team, the journey to a radiant smile through crowns is a smooth and personalised experience. The process unfolds over two main appointments, with the potential for an additional colour-matching session.
Initial Appointment
During the initial visit, your tooth is carefully prepared, involving minimal removal to make space for the crown. A mould of your tooth is crafted and sent to our lab for precise crown creation. While your permanent crown is being tailored, a temporary crown safeguards your tooth’s integrity.
For those opting for porcelain crowns on visible front teeth, a quick colour-match session may be arranged for an exact blend with your natural teeth.
Second Appointment
At the second appointment, your permanent crown is ready for placement. Our dentist expertly secures the crown, adjusting and shaping it for a flawless fit. This meticulous process guarantees a bite that feels as good as it looks, ensuring your comfort and functionality.
Frequently asked questions
Dental crowns are a permanent solution, but they can wear down over time. Typically, crowns will last in the decades, for at least 20 years before showing signs of wear and tear.
Should your crown fail, it is a simple matter of having it replaced with a new one.
Good care, including good dental hygiene habits and avoiding hard sweets or biting hard materials, will help your dental crown to last as long as possible.
Yes. A dental crown can greatly improve the strength, health, and appearance of your natural tooth. It is a good solution for several issues, so be sure to discuss getting a crown with your dentist.
They may be able to offer alternative solutions such as dental veneers, or explain why a crown is the best option for your needs.
Getting a dental crown is a common and highly safe procedure. The most common side effects are tenderness around the site following each procedure, which will go away in a day or so and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication in the meantime.
It is also possible to experience discomfort when the anaesthesia wears off. In this case, you will need to visit your dentist as soon as possible, as the crown may need to be better shaped to your tooth. This is not a common side effect but is something to be aware of.
Over time, your dental crown may chip, break, or even come off. This is not common but can happen due to wear and tear, and can largely be avoided with good care. Should this occur, your dentist will either fix and reattach the crown or have a new one made.
A dental crown varies depending on factors such as the material, how many crowns you’re getting, and the extent of work required to install the crown. Please get in touch with our friendly team for more information.
No, getting a dental crown is not painful as your dentist will give you a local anaesthetic to numb the area.
It may be uncomfortable to sit in the chair with your mouth open during treatment, but you can put your hand up for a break at any time.
