What are Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom made dental prosthetic that is used to restore a tooths strength, shape, size and appearance.
What are dental crown made from?
At My Local Dentists, we use a range of materials for our crowns, and this is dependent on factors such as where in your mouth the tooth is, how visible the tooth is and how much load (or force) the tooth has to endure
We only use the highest quality materials, the most common being zirconia and eMax, to ensure the best and long lasting results for our patients
Other potential materials include porcelain, metal and gold crowns. Speak to one of our dentists to determine which is most suitable for you
Who Is Involved In Making My Crown
The Dentist
The most important person in your oral health treatment
All of the dentists at My Local Dentists have graduated and received their dental degrees from Australian Universities
All have completed additional education in Australia to ensure they are up to date with the most effective oral health treatments
Save yourself from multiple second opinions, with our dentists attending regular patient treatment sessions, to ensure you are receiving the opinion of multiple experienced dentists with any complex or interesting treatments
The Lab
It is very common in Australia for dental crowns to be made overseas or in the surgery using an automated crown making product – the problem with these options is that the crowns are never of the quality we require at My local dentists
All of our dental crowns are made at one of our reputable partner labs all located in Sydney
Only the highest quality materials with fully Australian qualified prosthetists are used to make our crowns
Regular quality assurance is maintained
Ask the dentist for more information about where your crown is made

Step 1
Come in for a crown consultation to ensure your tooth is suitable for a crown.
Step 2
Preparation appointment – a preliminary restoration will be placed if required, and then the tooth will be prepared for a crown. At this appointment a scan or impression will be taken to make your crown. A temporary crown will be made to protect the underlying tooth while your crown is made.
Step 3
Cementation appointment – usually 1-2 weeks after the preparation appointment where your crown will be cemented in place using a high grade resin based luting cement.
