Porcelain Crowns Melbourne

Porcelain crowns can restore shape and functionality by enclosing the visible area of a damaged or weakened tooth.

Home >> General Dentistry >> Crowns

Porcelain crowns are used to restore a tooth by using natural-looking materials.

Similar to a cap, teeth crowns are placed over a damaged tooth to restore strength by reinforcing the underlying natural tissue. A dental crown restores functionality by allowing bite pressure and strength similar to that of natural teeth.

The dental crown procedure normally requires you to visit the clinic twice; once for examination and having a temporary crown, and the second for having the permanent crown placed.

At CLDC, we also offer ‘One Visit Crowns’. If you are short on time, you can also opt for our same-day dental crowns placement procedure.

Porcelain Crowns Procedure

Porcelain Crowns are generally used when damage or decay is so extensive that filling materials cannot make the tooth strong enough. Porcelain crowns can also be used to hold a bridge in place and to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth.

The placement of a porcelain crown might be for a variety of reasons, but, in general, most of these reasons will fall within one of the following basic categories:

  • To restore a tooth to its original shape
  • To strengthen a tooth (especially after root canal treatment)
  • To improve the cosmetic appearance of a tooth

Porcelain crowns are often made for teeth that have worn excessively, broken or have had large portions destroyed by tooth decay.

When teeth crowns are made in a dental laboratory, the technician visualises and examines all aspects of the bite and jaw movements from a variety of angles, and sculpts the porcelain crown so that it has perfect anatomy. In some cases, this anatomy will be even more ideal than the tooth’s original shape.

Types of Dental Crowns at CLDC

  • Metal Crowns –This type of crown can be made of gold alloy, palladium, nickel, or chromium alloy. Metal crowns are ideal for use on the back teeth.
  • Ceramic Crowns (Porcelain, Zirconia) – Ceramic crowns look like normal teeth and are ideal for use on the front teeth. With new materials available, these ceramic crowns can also be utilised in other areas of the mouth.
  • Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns (PFM) – PFM crowns look like natural teeth, with the added strength of a metal core. These crowns can be used anywhere in the mouth.

Replacing Old Metal Crowns

Many people dislike the aesthetic appearance of existing metal crowns. At CLDC, we can safely replace existing crowns with natural looking ceramic or porcelain-metal fused crowns that look, feel and function just like real teeth.

I have recently been given the most beautiful smile from Dr King and Dr Daniel. From the moment I entered CLDC the staff have all been amazing. Everyone’s attention to detail has exceeded my expectations. And my smile…words cannot even describe how gorgeous it is! Love the team at CLDC and my gorgeous new smile.

I was absolutely enamored at the result I achieved with my Invisalign treatment, so very happy that I can finally smile, no longer being self-conscious about my misaligned teeth. Dr King’s attention to detail is second to none. Thank you so much for everything. xx :-)

These guys are simply the best dentists I have ever used. Having just landed from a long haul flight with a bit of a dental crisis, they had me come straight in and gave me a 10/10 experience - expert dental work, outstanding customer care and great local tips on what to see and do as well. I can’t fault them and would recommend them in a heartbeat

I have never written a more deserving review. I went to Dr Yvonne King after a lengthy search for a reputable dentist in Melbourne. I wanted to get ill fitting composite veneers (applied at a different dentist) fixed. Dr. King didn't just fix the veneers, she removed them and restored my natural teeth to something I can barely recognise as my own they are so beautiful. To have a dentist give me advice on all my options including restoration of my natural teeth, not just more expensive veneers is rare & priceless & I'm extremely grateful. The team at the clinic are all as lovely as each other, welcoming, professional and so kind as I cried from happiness in their reception area! I have high standards & don't give reviews easily - there aren't enough stars to give for my experience with CLDC. Thank you Dr. Yvonne King & Team!read more

I had my 1st consultation with Dr Yvonne back in 2019 for porcelain veneers. Unfortunately i wasn't ready to go ahead with it due to my life circumstances at that particular time but I knew that when I was to decide,I would only go back to CLDC. I got my determination back this year and I certainly only regret not doing it earlier! It was such a smooth journey to my brand new teeth that gave me not only a brand new smile,but a brand new life with a highly improved self-esteem,confidence.I can smile now without holding back.So many people around me notice my amazing new smile and they all tell me how natural they look and how well they match my face. The entire team at CLDC is amazing, from the front desk, to Deb who always goes above and beyond to organise your new smile journey, to ofcourse dr Yvonne,all the dentists(special thanks to dr Tran and dr Daniel), ,hygienists,assistants.Such a friendly environment and I always look forward to my appointments.I highly recommend CLDC to everyone and I am so lucky having the most amazing smile now! Thank you!read more

I've been going to CLDC for over 10 years now. Yvonne is an absolute superstar when it comes to cosmetic dentistry and only employs the best. My current dentist, Daniel, is a very talented and passionate dentist who knows what he's doing and does it extremely well. Also, the rest of the team including Tony are super professional and take care of their clients very well. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

They were the only clinic around me who offered help with my specific issue. Called them in the morning and Chloe was able to get me in, get my X-rays, and get my treatment without me having to run around everywhere. Not saying they can do this as it’s subject to availability but the helpfulness of her, the staff when I was there and the dentists were absolutely impeccable. Never have I been given such amazing service and help from a clinic. Really appreciate what they did for me!

Most friendly and nicest staff. I feel so welcomed and comfortable and recovering nicely after my gum graft a few days ago. They were the only dentist that I went to that didn’t straight away say I need orthodontic treatment and gave me other options as well hence why I went with the gum graft. I travel from the other side of town for a reason. You guys are the best. Can’t wait to see my final results when I fully heal. Thank you

Two and a half years ago Dr King and staff gave me a smile. Now when I bump into friends, I give them a great big grin and they know just how happy and more confident I am. Your generosity and kindness will never be forgotten.Thank you so much Yvonne and girls for making my life a happier one :)
