A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover, or “cap,” custom designed to fit over a broken or worn tooth to restore its good health, function, optimal structure, size, appearance and shape. A dental crown can also improve the appearance of the tooth to hide large fillings, fractures, or other issues.
One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to repair significant damage or decay that has affected a tooth. Unlike removable dentures, your dental crown is permanently attached to your tooth and requires no special maintenance beyond maintaining healthy oral hygiene habits.
Dental Crowns look like your natural teeth and are fully customizable to your specific needs.
The most common materials used for making dental crowns is porcelain for an aesthetic, natural-looking restoration, but dental crowns may also be created from porcelain fused to zirconia, and full zirconia. Our Gold Coast experts will discuss the available types and help you choose the type of restoration that is best suited to your personal dental needs and lifestyle.
Careful planning is provided along with extensive discussions to understand our patients expectations. We work closely with our dental technicians who fabricate the crowns and/or veneers following the approved smile design. Our patients have the opportunity of visualising what the crowns could look like and approve the appearance before any irreversible treatment is carried out. We use wax ups on the models of the teeth which are then transferred to the mouth with a mock up made with temporary material that allows us and most importantly the patient, to see what the ideal size, shape and position is necessary. It also allows us to check the bite and make sure the final crowns and veneers need minimal adjustments.
When you visit us, our dentist may suggest a dental crown for a number reasons including the following conditions:
While dental crowns are an excellent solution for damaged teeth, a missing tooth requires a more direct approach. A dental bridge is a connected series of porcelain dental crowns specially designed to fill that gap in your smile, attaching an artificial tooth to two dental crowns that are anchored to adjacent existing teeth or dental implants.
Using a custom design to fit your smile, our experts create high-quality dental bridges that are comfortable and natural feeling.
Our dental bridges are custom designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth while providing maximum functional benefits.

ArtSmiles has a state-of-the-art dental lab located in-office to provide our patients with the best dental experience and results.
So, what does having an in-house dental lab mean for you, our patient?
New dental technologies and specialized instrumentation means patients spend much less time in a dental chair. One such innovation is called CEREC 3D. It allows the dentist to quickly restore your damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings and can be completed in a single visit, saving you time and the inconvenience of multiple visits with other procedures.
In our continued effort to provide the highest levels of comfort and convenience along with quality outcomes for our patients, we have introduced our newest digital impression scanner to our practice.
For those who find that “old school” process of messy impressions as uncomfortable or causing gagging, our digital scanning technology eliminates those problems. The scanner provides exceptional digital images in typically three to five minutes using a small pen like instrument. The images capture precise details of both your teeth and gums which then form the basis for the completion of several types of dental restorations including crowns, implants bridges and orthodontics.
In a nutshell, digital impressions offer you these advantages:
While our patients are understandably concerned about x-ray exposure, x-rays are a valuable and necessary resource to detect dental disease.
At ArtSmiles, your safety is one of priorities. X-rays performed in our office are safe with our advanced x-ray machines. Our team uses only the necessary exposure required for your digital x-ray. You can rest assure that you are receiving the best dental care in the safest way possible.

A dental bridge can help to bridge the gap if you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth that are adjacent to one another. Bridges help to improve the aesthetics of your smile as well as restore its function, such as relieving the stress on your bite by balancing the force exerted on your teeth.
Bridges are an excellent solution if you want a fixed restoration: one that you don’t have to remove every night since it is cemented in place.
If you are getting dental crowns or bridge for cosmetic reasons, we may recommend that you whiten your teeth first. At ArtSmiles, we offer teeth whitening procedures that can improve the appearance of your smile quickly and easily. It is important to have this procedure done first because the material that crowns and bridges are made out of are both stain and bleach resistant. That means that if it is created to match yellow teeth, it will remain yellow even if you have your teeth whitened at a later date. When you have the procedure done first, your new crown or bridge will be made to match your new brilliantly white teeth.
In Australia, a dental crown costs between 1,230 and 2,860, and the average price is 1,865. The cost can vary depending on the scale of treatment required.
Our experts will recommend a treatment option best suited to you and give you an estimate of the price and payment options during your consultation visit.
ArtSmiles has a variety of financing options available to suit every patient’s needs, so money should not be a barrier to improved dental health and appearance. We accept a wide range of payment methods and have plenty of flexible pay later financial options including Afterpay, TLC, Humm and Access My Super.
A crown is used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is sometimes used in non cosmetic areas, due to its strength.
A bridge may be recommended if you’re missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space. These teeth, called abutments, serve as anchors for the bridge. A replacement tooth, called a pontic, is attached to the crowns that cover the abutments. As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges. Our experts can help you decide which to use, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost.
Dental bridge can be used to:
With good oral hygiene, you can expect your bridge to last from 5 to 15 years, sometimes longer. Replacing missing teeth should make eating easier, but until you become accustomed to the bridge, we recommend you eat soft food cut into small pieces. You will also start noticing a difference when you speak, as your speech will become clearer. For a few weeks after the treatment, it is common to experience increased sensitivity to extreme temperatures. Also, you must remember to practice proper oral hygiene to prevent build up of bacteria on your teeth and gums.
