Crown quality can vary significantly worldwide, depending on the skills, experience, and standards of the dental team involved. At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we use only metal-free porcelain systems known for their strength, precision, and aesthetics. Our preferred materials include Swiss-made e.Max pressed porcelain and Lisi Press ceramics, both of which deliver exceptional durability and lifelike replication of natural tooth structure. For endodontically treated (root canal) teeth, we often recommend highest aesthetic zirconia crowns due to their superior strength and long-term performance. These advanced materials allow us to achieve seamless, natural-looking results that are built to last.

Just as with any other tooth, crowned teeth must be flossed around daily, with twice daily toothbrushing, along with 6 monthly preventive dental care with your dental professional. There is natural tooth underneath the crown and it must be cared for. Most ceramists manufacture crowns with a 5 years warranty in Australia.

Dental Crown Fees
Porcelain Crown: $2,400 (Item Code 613)
Gold Alloy Crown: Base fee $2,400 (Item Code 618) Gold weight is charged by our ceramist in a laboratory fee which is passed on as a fee
Both options are crafted with precision to restore the strength of your teeth.
High Strength Crowns.
For back teeth (molars and premolars) exposed to strong biting forces or showing signs of structural weakness, we recommend zirconia restorations. Zirconia is a high-strength ceramic material known for its exceptional durability and resistance to fracture, making it ideal for reinforcing posterior teeth.
These restorations are especially beneficial for teeth with large fillings, cracks, or wear, where the risk of fracture is higher. Zirconia crowns or overlays provide long-term protection, help preserve the remaining tooth structure, and restore full function while withstanding the heavy forces of chewing.
Aesthetic Dental Crowns.
For cases requiring the highest level of aesthetics and natural appearance, we recommend a custom layered lithium disilicate crown (such as eMax), crafted in collaboration with our specialist master ceramist. This premium restoration combines the strength of lithium disilicate with hand-layered porcelain artistry to precisely replicate the translucency, colour gradients, and surface texture of natural tooth structure.
Each crown is individually designed to match adjacent teeth in shade, shape, and light reflection, offering an exceptionally lifelike result—ideal for visible areas or patients seeking the most natural-looking outcome. This level of detail and craftsmanship provides both long-term durability and unparalleled aesthetics.
FAQs
-
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, and in many cases, even longer. Their lifespan depends on factors such as oral hygiene, diet, and whether you grind or clench your teeth. To help your crown last as long as possible, we recommend maintaining good brushing and flossing habits, avoiding excessive force or hard foods, and attending regular dental check-ups.
-
Getting a dental crown is generally not painful. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel discomfort during the treatment. After the anaesthetic wears off, you may experience some mild sensitivity or soreness, especially around the gums, but this typically settles within a few days. If needed, over-the-counter pain relief can help manage any temporary discomfort.
-
No, dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Using advanced materials and precise colour matching, crowns replicate the shape, colour, and translucency of your surrounding teeth. When crafted by experienced dentists, they are virtually undetectable, giving you a natural, confident smile.
-
A dental crown is recommended when a tooth is significantly damaged, weakened, or decayed and cannot be effectively restored with a filling alone. Crowns are used to protect cracked or broken teeth, restore teeth after root canal treatment, improve the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth, and support large fillings. They help restore strength, function, and aesthetics to your smile.
-
A crown covers the entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function, making it ideal for teeth that are damaged, cracked, or weakened. A veneer is a thin shell that covers only the front surface of a tooth, mainly used for cosmetic improvements such as correcting discoloration, minor chips, or gaps. Crowns provide full protection, while veneers focus primarily on enhancing appearance.
