Enjoy a stronger, more comfortable bite and a healthier smile with dental crowns. Designed to closely match the look and strength of a natural tooth, a permanent crown can repair damage, close gaps, and improve your chewing function, leaving your smile looking and feeling like new.
Dental crowns start from $1,990, with the final cost varying based on the condition of your tooth, the treatment required, and your private health fund cover.
During your initial consultation, our dentists will provide a personalised treatment plan and detailed quote. For more information, view our dental price list or book an appointment today!
Who should consider dental crowns?
Your dentist can advise you on whether a dental crown is needed. However, dental crowns are typically recommended for patients who have:
Severely discoloured teeth
Chipped or broken teeth
A weak tooth from tooth decay
Recently underwent a root canal
Dental implants that need to be capped
Want to enhance the look of your teeth
Post root canal treatment to help prevent further damage to the compromised tooth
Dental crowns are designed to fit over existing teeth. For those looking to replace missing teeth, a dental implant would be more suitable.
The dental crown procedure
Consultation and Tooth Assessment
Your treatment begins with a dental check-up and a comprehensive examination of the affected tooth. Our dentists assess the level of damage, check the surrounding gum health, and confirm whether a dental crown is the most suitable option.
You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan and quote before any work begins.
Tooth Preparation
To prepare the tooth for a crown, a small amount of enamel is carefully reshaped to create space for the restoration. This ensures the final crown fits securely and looks natural alongside your surrounding teeth.
Digital Scanning and Design (CEREC® Technology)
Using CEREC® same-day crown technology, we take precise digital scans of your tooth instead of traditional impressions. These scans are used to design your custom crown using advanced CAD/CAM software, allowing for a highly accurate fit and appearance.
Same-Day Crown Fabrication
Your crown is then milled on site from high-quality ceramic material while you wait. CEREC® crowns are designed to closely match natural tooth enamel in colour and strength, providing both durability and a lifelike finish.
Crown Placement and Final Fit
Once completed, the crown is checked for fit, bite, and appearance before being permanently bonded into place.
In most cases, this entire process can be completed in a single appointment!

Frequently Asked Questions
about dental crowns in Perth
-
A dental crown, also known as a single-tooth crown, is a cap that fits firmly over an entire tooth.
Closely resembling a natural tooth, a permanent crown can be used for cosmetic reasons to restore a smile. Apart from their aesthetic appearance benefits, they also provide strength and support to the teeth underneath that may be broken or have suffered decay.
Dental crowns are a tried-and-tested way of restoring the beauty of your smile, providing a natural-looking solution to broken or otherwise imperfect teeth. They are commonly placed after a root canal to protect and strengthen the tooth.
-
Dental crowns are perfect as a solution to a broken tooth or a tooth that has decayed so much that it won’t hold a tooth filling. A dental crown can cover up teeth with stains or other imperfections, such as chips or protect a weak tooth from breaking or further damage. They are also used in other dental procedures, like dental implants.
-
Dental crowns are a way of saving and protecting a tooth that is broken or decayed, avoiding the hassle of removing it completely. Ceramic dental crowns provide a very natural-looking solution to enhancing your smile and covering up imperfections. Provided you maintain good oral hygiene, dental crowns can last for many years.
-
The durability of dental crowns depends on what materials the crown is made from, the patient’s dental hygiene habits, and more. We’ve seen many patients with crowns for up to 20 years before requiring a replacement.
-
You may have come across the term temporary crown. The main difference between permanent crowns and temporary crowns is in the name. They are mainly used between appointments whilst waiting to have the temporary crown installed. Temporary crowns are typically made of either metal or plastic and are only designed to last a few weeks at most.
A permanent crown, on the other hand, is made from much stronger materials such as gold, ceramic, and porcelain. Permanent crowns can often get up to 15 years of use before needing replacement.
What types of dental crowns do you offer?
types of dental crowns
-
Full porcelain crowns have a very natural appearance and are perfect for front teeth. The colour mimics the shades of your natural teeth, where it is very difficult to distinguish between the natural tooth and the crown itself.
Full porcelain crowns satisfy the needs of patients with metal sensitivities. Full porcelain crowns may be made utilising CEREC® technology or may be fabricated from zirconia fused with a layering of porcelain colours. -
Porcelain fused to metal crowns provide the best of both worlds – the natural look of porcelain with the strength of metal.
These types of crowns have a metal substructure. An opaque layer is fused to the metal framework prior to application. As such, it is difficult to re-create the translucency of natural teeth.
In most instances, however, porcelain fused to metal crowns can be highly aesthetic and are stronger than full porcelain crowns.
-
Metal crowns are commonly used in areas of the mouth that are not so visible, such as out-of-sight molars.
The most common type of metal crowns are gold. The benefits of using metal crowns are that they have an excellent adaptation to the tooth, are long-lasting and do not chip.
Gold or metal crowns are also used in cases where occlusal (bite) problems exist, as they can withstand far greater forces and are softer to bite on.
