Dental Crowns
When a tooth has been damaged, weakened or heavily restored, a dental crown can help protect it and restore its strength. Crowns are carefully designed to fit over the existing tooth, helping to prevent further damage while restoring normal function and appearance.
At Brisbane Smiles, we create custom porcelain crowns to strengthen and protect teeth affected by cracks, large fillings, tooth wear, decay or root canal treatment. Each crown is individually crafted to blend naturally with your smile while providing long-lasting support for the underlying tooth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental Crowns are custom-made restorations designed to strengthen and protect damaged or weakened teeth. They fit over the existing tooth to restore its shape, function and appearance while helping to prevent further fracture or wear. Crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that are cracked, broken, heavily filled, worn down or weakened following root canal treatment.
Modern Porcelain and Zirconia Crowns are engineered to provide both exceptional strength and a natural appearance. These advanced materials offer excellent durability and wear resistance while closely matching the colour and translucency of natural teeth. At Brisbane Smiles, every crown is carefully designed to fit comfortably, restore normal chewing function and blend seamlessly with your smile.
While crowns are often used to repair and strengthen damaged teeth, they can also be used in selected cases to improve the appearance of teeth affected by discolouration, shape irregularities or minor alignment concerns.

About Dental Crown Treatment
At Brisbane Smiles, we take a personalised approach to dental crown treatment. Before recommending a crown, your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth, discuss your goals and explain the available treatment options. Our focus is on restoring the strength, function and long-term health of your tooth while achieving a natural-looking result.
What Does The Treatment Involve?
Initial Consultation
- We examine your tooth, take any necessary X-rays and determine whether a crown is the most suitable option to restore and protect it.
Tooth Preparation
- Any decay, weakened tooth structure or failing restorations are carefully addressed before the tooth is shaped to receive the crown. Precise digital scans or impressions are then taken.
Temporary Crown
- A temporary crown is fitted to protect your tooth while your custom crown is being fabricated.
Final Crown Placement
- Once your custom porcelain or zirconia crown is ready, we check the fit, bite and appearance before securely bonding it into place.
Number of Appointments
Most dental crowns are completed over two to three appointments:
- Visit One: Examination, diagnosis and treatment planning
- Visit Two: Tooth preparation, scans/impressions and temporary crown placement
- Visit Three: Final crown fitting and placement
Treatment Time
The complete process is typically completed over 2-3 weeks, depending on the complexity of treatment and laboratory turnaround times.
Ongoing Care
With good oral hygiene and regular dental examinations, porcelain crowns can provide many years of service. We will monitor your crown during routine check-ups and provide advice on maintaining the health of both the crown and the supporting tooth.
