Strong Natural-looking Restorations for Lasting Smiles

Do you have a cracked tooth or a heavily decayed one on its last leg? A crown fixes that. It’s a custom-made cover that restores strength, shape, and function. At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, we use porcelain and zirconia for crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Some teeth need more than a filling. A dental crown wraps around a damaged tooth, protecting and reinforcing it. Whether restoring a missing tooth, covering a dental implant, or strengthening a heavily restored tooth, our dental crowns keep your teeth functional and natural. At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre Adelaide, we make sure it fits right – looks real, feels right, lasts long.

Find the Right Dental Crown at Alpha Dental & Implant Centre

Not all dental crowns are the same. Some restore function, others improve aesthetics – most do both. At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, we use Zirconia and Porcelain crowns for their durability, biocompatibility, and natural translucency.

Porcelain Crowns – Seamless, Tooth-Coloured Aesthetics

Ideal for anterior restorations, porcelain-fused crowns mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. Crafted for a perfect shade match, they are an excellent choice for cosmetic dentistry.

Zirconia Crowns – Strength for Back Teeth

For posterior restorations, Zirconia crowns offer exceptional strength and durability. They’re highly resistant to fractures and wear, making them ideal for back teeth that take on heavy chewing forces.

Every crown is custom-made in our dental lab to match your bite, teeth colours, and shape.

When Should You Get a Dental Crown?

Teeth don’t last forever. Fillings weaken them. Wear grinds them down. Root canals leave them fragile. A dental crown gives a damaged tooth the strength it needs to last. You might need a crown if you have:

  • Too many fillings – The more fillings, the weaker the tooth. A crown holds it together.
  • A root canal-treated tooth – Once the nerve is gone, the tooth becomes brittle. A crown protects it from breaking.
  • Severe wear or erosion – Years of grinding? Acid damage? A crown restores your tooth’s original shape.
  • A weak or fractured tooth – Small cracks can turn into big breaks. A crown stops it from splitting further.
  • A full-mouth rebuild – Do you have worn, broken, or missing teeth? A custom-made crown brings back function and balance.

At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, we use porcelain and zirconia crowns: strong, safe, and made to match your natural teeth.

The Dental Crown Procedure: What to Expect

Dental Crowns Adelaide

A dental crown is not a quick fix—it’s a precise, carefully planned treatment. Here’s how we do it at Alpha Dental:

Exam & Treatment Plan

We check your existing teeth, assess any decay or fractures, and decide if a crown is the best course of action.

Tooth Preparation

A small layer of enamel is shaped to fit the crown. If the tooth is badly damaged, we may build it up first.

Crown Custom Design

We use advanced dental lab technology to prepare your type of crown! Your crown is custom-made to match your bite and tooth colour.

Temporary Crown (If Needed)

While your permanent crown is being made in our dental lab, we place a temporary crown for protection.

Crown Placement & Fitting

Your new crown is tested for fit, bite, and comfort before being permanently cemented into place.

Final Adjustments & Aftercare

We ensure the crown is right for you, make adjustments, check comfort and give you care tips to keep your crown strong for years.

One appointment or two—we’ll let you know what’s best. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like new.

FAQs About Dental Crowns in Adelaide

How much does a crown cost in Adelaide?

The cost of a dental crown in Adelaide varies, generally ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth. Factors include the material used, the complexity of the treatment, and any additional dental work required. At Alpha Dental, we provide transparent pricing and flexible payment options.

Is there a downside to dental crowns?

While dental crowns are durable, they require some tooth reduction to fit properly. Some patients may experience slight sensitivity after the procedure, but this typically fades. With proper care, a well-fitted crown should feel and function like a natural tooth.

Does Bupa cover dental crowns?

Bupa and other private health insurers may cover part of the cost, depending on your level of dental cover. Many plans include major dental treatments, but rebates vary. We recommend checking your policy or visiting Alpha Dental & Implant Centre  for a treatment plan quote.

Can a dental crown protect my natural teeth?

Yes! A dental crown strengthens a weakened or heavily restored tooth, preventing further cracks, wear, or breakage. It restores the entire tooth, ensuring a balanced bite and long-term durability.

How long do dental crowns last?

A well-maintained crown can last 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer. Avoid hard foods, grinding, and poor oral hygiene, and your crown will stand the test of time. Regular dental check-ups at Alpha Dental help ensure longevity.
