Each crown is tailored for durability, comfort, and aesthetics — helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.
What Are Dental Crowns — and Who Might Need One?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit snugly over a damaged or compromised tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crafted from durable, tooth-coloured materials, crowns are designed to blend naturally with your smile while protecting the tooth beneath.
You may need a crown if you have:
-
A cracked, chipped, or weakened tooth
-
A tooth with a large filling that needs extra support
-
A tooth that’s undergone a root canal
-
A dental implant that requires a natural-looking crown
-
A misshapen or discoloured tooth you’d like to improve cosmetically
At Mary St Dental Gympie, we design each crown with care and precision to ensure a perfect fit, long-lasting strength, and a beautifully natural result.
How Does the Dental Crown Procedure Work?
At Mary St Dental Gympie, your dental crown journey begins with a thorough examination to assess the health of your tooth and surrounding structures. If a crown is the best solution, we’ll carefully remove any decay or damage and reshape the tooth to ensure the perfect foundation for your new crown.
Next, we take digital impressions (or traditional moulds if required) to craft a custom-made crown that matches the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth — ensuring a seamless result.
A temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent one is being fabricated. At your next appointment, we’ll fit the final crown, make any necessary adjustments, and secure it with long-lasting dental cement for a comfortable, precise, and durable result.
The outcome? A natural-looking, strong, and functional tooth that blends beautifully into your smile.
What Can I Expect from My Dental Crown?
Patients at Mary St Dental Gympie often notice an immediate improvement in both the function and appearance of their smile after receiving a dental crown. You can expect a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth — crafted for durability, comfort, and aesthetics.
Your new crown will restore the strength and stability of your tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence once again. And with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, your crown can last many years, making it a reliable long-term investment in your oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last for a very long time, with a statistically average lifespan of 15 years. Many well-maintained crowns last decades.
Discomfort is minimal. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
Whilst the surface of the crown is impervious to decay, if not properly cared for, the margin where the crown meets the tooth can deteriorate and suffer decay and cavitation, which is why excellent home care and maintaining regular checkups with your dentist is so important. The same applies to natural teeth.
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential. Like natural teeth, extremely hard foods and damaging habits like nail-biting, chewing ice and cutting materials such as fishing line with your teeth and crowns is discouraged and can cause damage, however modern crowns are extremely strong and you are expected to be able to maintain a full diet after treatment.
We offer various options, including glass ceramic, zirconia, gold, and metal alloys, depending on the tooth’s location, the functional and aesthetic requirements and your preference. In contemporary dentistry, Zirconia crowns are often used for back teeth as they are twice as strong as glass ceramic crowns such as e.max.
Some dental crowns like those made from glass ceramic can be made and inserted on the same day. Stronger crowns used for back teeth are typically made from Zirconia, and require a long time to prepare thus, they are often not able to be made in a day. Zirconia crowns are used for their improved physical properties – with twice the compressive strength as glass ceramic and superior antibacterial surface texture; they are the ideal, most durable and long-lasting option for back teeth. Such crowns are best made in a dental laboratory by a skilled ceramist.
