What Are Dental Crowns and Why Are They Needed?
Dental crowns, or caps, are custom restorations that cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. Designed to restore strength, function, and appearance, they are often used when a tooth has been fractured or heavily filled, after a root canal, or when cosmetically compromised.
Common reasons for crowns include:
- Repairing broken or cracked teeth
- Strengthening teeth post-root canal
- Restoring large cavities or worn-down fillings
- Improving the shape or colour of a tooth
- Supporting dental bridges or implants
“Does your filling keep falling out? That tooth may need the strength of a crown,” – Dr Marc Malek (Dentist).

Get Results in Just One Visit with CEREC Technology
At Excellence in Dentistry, we use advanced CEREC technology to create strong, natural-looking crowns in just one visit—no temporary caps, no waiting weeks. This high-tech process delivers precision and comfort in four streamlined steps:
Digital Scan
A 3D digital camera captures your tooth’s exact shape and bite pattern, eliminating the need for traditional messy impressions.
Design
Using sophisticated CAD software, your dentist designs a custom crown that fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth.
Milling
The design is sent to our on-site milling unit, which carves your crown from a durable ceramic block within minutes.
Fitting
After fine-tuning for colour and bite, the crown is polished and bonded to the tooth, all during the same visit.
This precise, time-saving method offers excellent aesthetics, strength, and convenience, helping you get back to smiling sooner.

Offering Traditional Crowns as an Option
Traditional crowns are still a valuable option, especially for complex cases. These restorations are created in an external lab and involve two visits. At the first appointment, we prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown. At the second visit, we permanently fit your custom crown, ensuring perfect bite alignment and aesthetics.
The Importance of Aftercare – Tips to Follow
To help your new restoration last 10-15 years or more, we recommend that our patients follow these steps:
- Brush and floss daily – focusing gently around the gumline
- Avoid hard foods – like nuts, ice, and boiled lollies
- Wear a nightguard – for those who grind their teeth while sleeping
- Visit our dentist regularly – check-ups and professional cleans ensure oral health
Caring for your dental crown is no different from caring for your natural teeth. With proper hygiene and a few precautions, you can enjoy long-term function and aesthetics and ensure your smile.
Why Use Zirconia Or Porcelain?
Zirconia and porcelain are the two most common materials we use for crowns, and for good reason.
Zirconia offers exceptional strength and durability, making it ideal for back teeth that endure heavy chewing. They’re also biocompatible, reducing the risk of irritation.
Porcelain is known for its lifelike translucency, making it perfect for front teeth where aesthetics matter most. It’s metal-free, natural-looking, and stain-resistant, and we match the colour perfectly to your existing teeth.
Both materials provide long-lasting protection and excellent cosmetic results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best option based on your needs.
Why Choosing CEREC Makes Sense?
If convenience matters to you, CEREC crowns are a game-changer. You’ll receive a durable, custom-fit ceramic crown on the same day, eliminating the need for multiple appointments or temporary restorations.
Our on-site technology allows us to scan, design, and produce your crown in a single visit. You can walk in with a damaged tooth and walk out with a permanent, natural-looking restoration—all in a few hours.
No impressions. No waiting. No second visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dental crowns cost?
Our dental crowns typically cost between $1,200 and $2,400, depending on the material used and the type of crown (CEREC vs. traditional). During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalised quote and help you check your insurance coverage. Flexible payment plans are available to make care more accessible.
Are dental crowns painful to get?
The crown procedure is not painful. We use local anaesthetics to ensure complete comfort during preparation and fitting. You may feel mild tenderness or sensitivity for a day or two after the procedure, but this is temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
How long do zirconia and porcelain crowns last?
With proper oral hygiene and care, zirconia and porcelain crowns may last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoid chewing on ice or grinding your teeth. Regular check-ups and good brushing and flossing habits can further extend their lifespan.
Can I get a crown in one visit?
Yes. Our advanced CEREC system allows most patients to receive a high-quality ceramic crown in a single appointment. The same-day option is ideal for those who want to avoid temporaries and multiple visits. Your eligibility depends on tooth condition and placement.
Does insurance cover dental crowns?
Most private health funds include crowns under their major dental coverage. We’ll help you check your benefits and process your claim. For patients without cover, we offer flexible payment options to spread out the cost of care.
Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes, once the crown is fitted and bonded, you can eat as normal. We recommend avoiding extremely hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours. Ongoing care with your crown is similar to natural teeth—daily brushing, flossing, and avoiding grinding are key.
What if my tooth is too damaged?
With severely damaged teeth, we may place a post inside the root canal to help support the crown. This gives the crown added stability and improves long-term function. We’ll assess your tooth’s condition thoroughly before recommending the best option.
