In plain English

What is a dental crown?

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap made to fit over the whole of a prepared tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape and strength, holds a cracked tooth together, and spreads chewing forces so a weakened tooth does not split.

Crowns are matched to the colour of the neighbouring teeth, so on most teeth they are not noticeable when you smile.

When a crown helps

When does a tooth need a crown?

After a root canal

Back teeth become brittle after a root canal and almost always need covering.

A cracked tooth

A crown holds the tooth together and can stop a crack spreading.

A large filling breaking down

When there is too little tooth left to hold another filling.

A broken tooth

A tooth that has lost a large part of its structure.

Heavy wear

Teeth worn down by grinding, alongside a night guard.

On an implant

The crown on an implant is included in the $4,500 implant fee.

Step by step

What happens when you have a crown?

  1. ConsultationThe tooth is examined and X-rayed, and the options are set out in writing.
  2. Preparing the toothUnder local anaesthetic the tooth is shaped so the crown can fit over it.
  3. A temporary crownA temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent one is made.
  4. FittingThe permanent crown is fitted, the colour and bite are checked, and it is cemented in place.

Looking after it

How do you look after a crown?

Brush and floss around a crown as carefully as around a natural tooth, because decay and gum disease can still start at the edge where the crown meets the tooth. If you grind your teeth, a night guard protects crowns as well as natural teeth.

Crowns are checked at every check-up. A crown that feels loose or high, or a tooth that aches under a crown, is worth having looked at promptly. Lost a crown? What to do tonight →

Things people ask

What do people ask about crowns?

How much is a dental crown at Berala Dental?

A crown at Berala Dental is $1,500 for a front tooth and $1,800 for a back tooth. Every figure assumes your health fund contributes nothing, and you receive a written quote with item numbers before treatment starts.

When does a tooth need a crown?

A crown is recommended when a tooth is too broken down to hold a filling, when a tooth is cracked, or after a root canal on a back tooth, which becomes more brittle over time. A crown covers the whole tooth and protects it from splitting.

Does a tooth always need a crown after a root canal?

Back teeth almost always do, because they take the heaviest chewing forces. Some front teeth can be restored with a filling instead. The written plan says which applies to your tooth.

How many visits does a crown take?

Usually two. At the first visit the tooth is shaped and a temporary crown is fitted; at the second, the permanent crown is fitted and the bite checked. The number of visits is set out in your plan.

How long does a crown last?

There is no fixed lifespan. How long a crown lasts depends on the health of the tooth and gum underneath, grinding, and how well the edges are cleaned. Crowns are checked at every check-up.

Is the crown on an implant charged separately?

No. At Berala Dental the $4,500 implant fee runs from planning to the final crown, so the implant crown is included.

Who fits crowns at Berala Dental?

Crowns at Berala Dental are fitted by Dr Belal Aly and Dr Mahnaz Khan.
