Dental Crowns Bondi Junction
Strengthen, Restore and Protect Weakened Teeth
If you’ve chipped, cracked, or heavily filled a tooth, a dental crown may be the ideal long-term solution. At Better Smiles Bondi Junction, we offer expertly crafted crowns that restore both the strength and natural appearance of your tooth—helping you bite, chew, and smile with confidence.
When is a Crown Recommended?
Crowns are used to treat a range of dental issues, including:
- Heavily filled or broken teeth
- Teeth with cracks or fractures
- Teeth weakened after root canal therapy
- Misshapen or worn-down teeth
- Teeth discoloured or structurally compromised
- To anchor a dental bridge or cover a dental implant
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a strong, tooth-shaped cap placed over an existing tooth to protect it and restore its shape, strength, and function. It’s commonly recommended when a tooth can’t be repaired with a regular filling or has been weakened by decay, large restorations, or root canal treatment.
Crown Materials and Options
Crown Type | Material | Best For |
Porcelain | Tooth-coloured ceramic | Front teeth for a natural appearance |
Porcelain-fused-metal | Metal base with ceramic | Strength and aesthetics for molars |
Zirconia | High-strength ceramic | Back teeth requiring durability |
Gold Alloy | Gold-based metal | Patients needing maximum durability |
Our team will help you choose the most appropriate material based on function, aesthetics, and longevity.
The Crown Procedure
The crown process is typically completed over two visits:
- First Appointment
- The tooth is prepared by removing any decay or damage.
- A precise 3D scan or impression is taken.
- A temporary crown is placed while the final crown is made.
- Second Appointment
- The temporary crown is removed.
- The final custom-made crown is checked for fit, function, and colour match.
- The crown is permanently bonded to your tooth.
Aftercare for Dental Crowns
Caring for your crown is similar to looking after your natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
- Floss carefully around the crown margin
- Avoid chewing hard objects (e.g. ice, pens)
- Visit us for regular check-ups and cleans
With proper care, crowns can last many years and continue to function and look great.
