You have various options when it comes to crowns, and your dentist can suggest which ones are best for your teeth. Metals, such as gold alloys, are often used to create prefabricated crowns that are used on permanent teeth. Other crowns are made from resin, porcelain or ceramic. There are benefits and drawbacks for each, and some crown materials will last longer than others. In general, the longest-lasting crowns are metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal.
The process of getting a crown made involves filing or filling the tooth to the proper shape and getting accurate impressions made, so the crowns are custom-fit. A temporary crown will usually be put in place to protect your teeth. During your next visit, the temporary crown will be removed so that the dentist can set the permanent one in using a special adhesive. A local anaesthetic is usually used so that you won’t feel a thing, but general sedation is available for those who would prefer to sleep through the procedure.
When you visit our dental practice near Annerley, we can help run you through the process so that you understand each step and can ask us whatever questions you may have. Your comfort is our top priority, so we will go the extra mile to ensure that you are confident in your decision and are at ease during the procedure.
Nicky DR2026-05-07Amazing experience - very difficult procedure and a very nervous customer and Dr Alex was fantastic… patient and kind and did such a brilliant job paying attention to every detail. Cannot recommend highly enoughsara skender2026-05-05Dr Alex is such a good, calm, and reassuring dentist. As an anxious patient, I really appreciated how he took his time explaining my treatment plan and made sure all my questions were answered. His bedside manner is amazing — he checked in on me throughout the appointment, gave me breaks, and made sure I was always okay. The whole team is really lovely as well. I would highly recommend him!Georgia Barnes2026-05-02Dr Becky is amazing! She is very gentle and very efficient, my teeth have never felt so clean! Would 10/10 recommend visiting her for all your dental needs.Jared Russell2026-03-24I’ve been coming here for over 4 years now and couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Dr Astin Friskin has been absolutely incredible...professional, gentle, and genuinely caring. She always made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a huge difference. I now see Dr Nicole Yuen, and she has continued that same amazing level of care. She’s also incredibly open to feedback and genuinely wants to get everything right, even going out of her way to fix the smallest admin mishap. That level of care and accountability really stands out. Both dentists truly go above and beyond for their patients. What really stands out is how well they get to know you as a person. Even though you might only visit twice a year, they remember the small details about your life, which makes every appointment feel personal and welcoming. The reception team also deserves a special mention. They go out of their way to make every visit feel 5 star. It’s such a nice touch being welcomed by name by each receptionist, even those who weren’t at the desk when you first arrived. Their communication is fantastic, their care is genuine, and the whole experience is always positive. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough!Joseph Rivera2026-03-13Had my first appointment at this clinic today. The end-to-end care was spot on - clear explanations, solid action plan and really great communication. Just got a root canal done and Dr Nicole Y and she completely eased my nerves and concerns. Pain management was exceptional - she checked in the whole way through and made sure I was comfortable at every step. Top-tier patient care from start to finish - even adjusting the air temp to suit my needs. Highly recommend.Denise Goulding2026-03-07Had a great experience today. Dr Suzy was attentive and did a great job cleaning my teeth and gave me good advice. Sarah did a good job assisting and Tatiana on the reception was kind and considerate. Yeronga Park Dental great place to get your oral health taken care of.Anna Huynh2026-02-06Dr Yuen is a lifesaver. I had been getting migraines and to think it came from my tooth. She provided emergency treatment and scheduled me back to ensure that it did not happen again. She and her team provide holistic care for myself and my family. My toddler was booked in and they were amazing! He was not scared at all and had so much fun in the dentist chair! Thank you Yeronga Park!Joseph Jou2026-02-05Dr Suzy is awesome.
