Dental Crowns

restoring your smile with care

If you have severely worn down teeth, unnatural looking old crowns, or are looking for a big change to your smile, dental crowns could be for you.

Dr Dunn doesn’t approach dental crowns as a quick fix solution. After all, a dental crown is a life-changing treatment that needs to be done right the first time.

At Macquarie Street Centre, we take our time to care for the person behind the smile, helping you feel empowered while delivering exceptional results.

Kadi's Story

Worn down teeth, and broken back teeth, made Kadi feel older than she really was.

Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of 10 new dental crowns to restore her smile to its youthful best.

Emma's Story

Emma was unhappy with her uneven smile. A previous root treatment had left one of Emma’s front teeth with considerable discolouration, while another had a mismatched veneer. Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of a new dental crown (root treated tooth), a porcelain veneer replacement and 4 new porcelain veneers on adjacent teeth.

Fran's Story

Fran really wanted a fresh, youthful look but her teeth were worn down, crowded and discoloured with age.

Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of a complete smile makeover: handcrafted dental crowns for a showstopping new smile that still looks completely natural.

Peter's Story

Peter’s old dental bridge caused him considerable discomfort: it was ill fitting and meant his top front teeth didn’t match the others. Many of his natural teeth were worn down from grinding.

Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of dental implants to replace the old bridge, and new dental crowns and porcelain veneers on the adjacent front teeth.

Dental Crowns vs Porcelain Veneers

A dental crown is a porcelain cap fitted over your natural tooth to provide strength when much of the natural tooth has been lost (due to grinding, heavy damage or decay, or a root canal, for example) or if your goal is a drastic cosmetic change. A dental crown does require substantial reduction in tooth structure, however it’s super strong and looks and behaves like a natural tooth.

A porcelain veneer is a wafer thin yet strong porcelain shell placed over your natural tooth. Perfectly translucent for a natural-looking smile, it’s not as strong as a dental crown, but requires less removal of your natural tooth.

Not everyone is suitable for porcelain veneers, nor are they always the best treatment option. For example, a porcelain veneer is too thin to disguise tooth discolouration after a root canal. Dental crowns are ideal when your natural tooth is too damaged to support a veneer, or when you’re looking for a big change to your natural tooth shape.

Some of our customers walk away with a mix of dental crowns and porcelain veneers. Dr Dunn will discuss your goals during your initial consultation, and determine the best treatment plan for you.

Dental Crowns, Explained

ebook

A dental crown is a cap fitted over your natural tooth to provide strength when much of the natural tooth has been lost, or if a drastic cosmetic change is desired.

It’s much stronger than a porcelain veneer, while still looking and behaving like a natural tooth, but it also requires more removal of your natural tooth structure, so there’s lots to consider before going ahead with a dental crown treatment.

We’ve created a downloadable guide to help you navigate the journey to getting a dental crown, including FAQs and our customers’ results.
