Dental Crowns
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged, decayed, or aesthetically unpleasing teeth.
They are crafted from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials, and are shaped to match the natural contour of your teeth.
At Hallett Cove Smiles in Adelaide, we provide high-quality dental crowns that restore the functionality and appearance of your smile.
Our team will work with you to choose the best material for your needs and ensure a comfortable, natural fit.

How Do Dental Crowns Work?
The process of getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to Hallett Cove Smiles. During the first visit, our experienced dentists will assess the affected tooth, removing any decay and shaping it to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for the crown. An impression of your tooth is then taken to create a precise model, ensuring the crown matches your natural bite and the contours of your smile. A temporary crown is often placed to protect your tooth while the custom crown is being fabricated in a dental lab.
Once the permanent crown is ready—usually within a couple of weeks—you’ll return for your second appointment. The temporary crown is carefully removed, and the permanent crown is fitted and bonded to your tooth using a strong dental adhesive. Our team will adjust the crown as needed to ensure a comfortable bite, a natural appearance, and a seamless feel.
With proper care, your dental crown will function and feel like a natural tooth, restoring both strength and aesthetics to your smile. Contact Hallett Cove Smiles to learn more about the benefits of dental crowns or to schedule your consultation.
Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?
You might need a dental crown for several reasons:
- To Protect a Weakened Tooth: Teeth that have been weakened by decay or large fillings can be reinforced with a crown to prevent further damage or fractures.
- To Restore a Broken or Worn-Down Tooth: Crowns can restore the shape, size, and function of teeth that have been significantly worn down or broken.
- To Cover and Support a Tooth with a Large Filling: When a tooth has more filling than natural tooth structure, a crown can provide the necessary support.
- To Hold a Dental Bridge in Place: Crowns can be used to anchor a dental bridge, filling the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
- To Improve the Appearance of Teeth: Crowns can enhance the look of discolored, misshapen, or aesthetically compromised teeth.
- To Cover a Dental Implant: Crowns are placed on dental implants to replace missing teeth, providing a natural look and function.
