Crowns

Dental crown is a dental restoration that consists of a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over the original tooth. Essentially, a crown is used in the event an individual’s tooth is damaged to protect it. It can also restore a damaged tooth to its normal shape, size, and function, and can improve the way the tooth looks overall.

A single dental crown can cost anywhere between $800-$2,000 depending on the quality and type of the dental crown. At Pure Dentistry, we use affordably priced, quality and professionally made dental crowns in Brisbane.

On average, custom-crafted dental crowns made from high-quality ceramics material can cost between $1080 to $2120 per crown at top cosmetic dental practices in Brisbane and the Gold coast area. The cost of a dental crown depends on the experience of the dentist, for example, according to the Australian dental fee survey of 2020, the average cost of a dental crown charged by specialists is $2,019 and the average cost of a dental crown charged by general dentists is $1,600. Other factors that affect the cost of dental crown include:

  • the quality of the dental lab used to fabricate the crown
  • the material used e.g. ceramic, porcelain or metallic
  • the size and location of the tooth in the mouth

Many people are using payment plans for their dental treatments including humm, AfterPay, OpenPay, My Smile plan or even use their super fund to pay for dental treatments (ask us about SuperCare dental). For example currently with humm payment plan, a $1,600 treatment would be $80 per week.

Signs You Need a Dental Crown

You’ve Had a Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment removes bacteria from the root canal, prevents reinfection of a tooth, and help save an individual’s natural tooth. During a root canal, the dentist will drill into the middle of the tooth to remove any decay.

While this process can save the natural tooth, drilling the tooth will leave its structure weak. Weak teeth are more prone to fracture, which is where dental crowns come in.

You have an Advanced Cavity

It’s common for individuals to receive a filling when they have a cavity. But if you have an advanced cavity, a filling might not be the best option. If your cavity is too advanced, likely, your tooth isn’t strong enough for a filling.

In situations like this, a dental crown will be a better solution. A crown can provide better protection than what the filling can. However, it’s important to note that a dental crown won’t protect against gum disease.

You have Misshapen or Stained Teeth

Another sign you need a dental crown is if you have misshapen or stained teeth. Dealing with these kinds of cosmetic issues often makes individuals feel self-conscious. But a crown can help correct these problems.

Since dental crowns cover your permanent teeth, you can hide oral imperfections. Not only that, but a crown will strengthen your tooth’s structure.

Dental Crowns can be Used to:

  • Protect a weak tooth from breaking
  • Hold together parts of a cracked tooth
  • Restore a broken tooth or a tooth that is severely worn down
  • Replace a heavily filled-tooth
  • Keep a dental bridge in place
  • To cover a tooth that is misshapen
  • To cover a severely discoloured tooth
