Every Smile Deserves the Best
Damaged or weakened teeth can affect both your oral health and confidence. Dental crowns offer a long-lasting solution by restoring the structure, function, and appearance of your teeth. At Melbourne Street Dental Studio in South Brisbane, we provide custom-made, high-quality dental crowns that protect and enhance your smile.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns play a crucial role in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. They provide:
- Protection – Shields weakened or damaged teeth from further decay or fractures.
- Aesthetic Enhancement – Mimics the natural appearance of teeth for a seamless smile.
- Functional Restoration – Restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
If your tooth is cracked, worn, discolored, or has undergone a root canal, a dental crown can restore strength, durability, and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last 5–15 years, depending on the material and oral hygiene habits. Porcelain and zirconia crowns are the most durable options.
Can dental crowns be replaced?
Yes! If a crown breaks, becomes loose, or you want a different material, your dentist can easily replace it with a new one.
What is the best material for dental crowns?
- Zirconia Crowns – Best for back teeth due to their superior strength.
- E-max Crowns – Ideal for front teeth, offering the most natural aesthetics.
Can dental crowns be whitened?
No, crowns do not respond to teeth whitening treatments. If you want a whiter smile, consider whitening your natural teeth before getting a crown to ensure a uniform color.
Can a dental crown fall out?
It’s rare, but if your crown becomes loose or falls off, schedule an appointment immediately. Avoid chewing on hard foods with the crowned tooth to prevent damage.
When do you need a dental crown?
A crown is necessary when:
- Your tooth is severely decayed or broken.
- You’ve had a root canal treatment.
- You need to cover a large filling or dental implant.
