Dental Crowns in Chadstone (Melbourne)

Restore, strengthen and protect damaged or weakened teeth with high-quality dental crowns at Chadstone Dental Surgery. Our crowns are designed for durability, function and natural aesthetics, helping you enjoy a healthier and more confident smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, cracked or heavily filled tooth. It restores the tooth’s strength, shape and appearance while protecting it from further damage.

Crowns are long-lasting and suitable for both cosmetic and restorative purposes. They are often recommended when a normal filling is no longer enough to support the tooth.

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

We provide high-quality, durable crown materials to suit different needs, budgets and aesthetic goals.

What Are the Different Types of Dental Crowns?

• Gold / Precious Metal Alloy Crowns – Highly durable and ideal for back molars.
• Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) – Strong metal base with tooth-coloured porcelain for natural aesthetics.
• Full Porcelain Crowns – Best for front teeth where a natural appearance is essential.
• Zirconia Crowns – Extremely strong, modern and natural-looking; popular for both front and back teeth.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A crown may be recommended when the tooth cannot be restored with a filling or when appearance and function need improvement.

Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?

• Heavily filled or damaged teeth – When a tooth has more filling than natural structure left.
• Cracked or fractured teeth – A crown can hold the tooth together and reduce pain when biting.
• Cosmetic improvements – To improve the shape, size or colour of a tooth.
• After root canal treatment – A crown protects the weakened tooth and prevents future fractures.
• Worn-down teeth – Caused by grinding, acid erosion or ageing.
• Replacing old, failing restorations – When fillings break repeatedly.
