Protect what matters with a custom-fitted dental crown
When a tooth is weakened or damaged, a crown can restore more than just structure—it can restore confidence. At Showground Dental in the heart of Bowen Hills, we design custom crowns that fit beautifully, function naturally, and help protect your long-term oral health.
Dental crown
A dental crown is a custom-made tooth-shaped cap that fully covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth. This restores the tooth’s shape, size, and function while improving its appearance so it looks and functions just like natural.
Benefits of dental crowns
- Protects weak or cracked teeth from further damage
- Restores function to broken or worn-down teeth
- Reinforces root canal-treated teeth for durability
- Enhances the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth
- Supports dental bridges for missing teeth
Do you need a dental crown?
You may benefit from a crown if you have:
- Cracked, chipped, or fractured tooth that needs reinforcement
- Worn-down tooth from grinding or damage
- Root canal-treated tooth that requires protection
- Large filling with little natural tooth structure left
- Misshapen or severely discoloured tooth
- Missing tooth that needs a dental bridge for support
Types of dental crowns
Composite resin crowns:
Composite crowns offer a tooth-coloured, minimally invasive option for restoring damaged teeth, providing a natural aesthetic and preserving more of your original tooth structure.
Porcelain crowns:
Porcelain crowns offer a remarkably lifelike appearance and resist staining, making them an excellent choice for restoring front teeth and enhancing your smile’s natural beauty.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns:
Strong and aesthetic, combining durability with a natural look.
Metal crowns (Silver/Gold):
While exceptionally strong and long-lasting, particularly for back teeth, they are less commonly chosen today due to aesthetic preferences for more natural-looking alternatives.
