Same Day Dental Crowns Brisbane
If you have weak or broken teeth, Springfield Dental offers high-quality dental crowns in Brisbane to help improve your appearance. A dental crown procedure involves covering a damaged or broken tooth with a cap.

We use advanced technology and 3D scanning to make precision-fit tooth-coloured crowns, giving you the best possible outcome. We have successfully completed 1000+ dental crown procedures. We provide transparent pricing and accessible care.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged, weakened, or heavily filled tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance as it blends in with your natural smile. We recommend dental crowns after large fillings, root canal treatments, or when a tooth is cracked, ensuring long-lasting protection and function. Dentists also use crowns to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth. These are made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin, and porcelain, and last upto 15 years with proper care.
Dental Crowns Cost Brisbane
At Springfield Dental, dental crowns start from $1,600 per tooth. Your final cost depends on your individual dental condition. In some cases, additional treatment is required before placing a crown. This can include root canal therapy if the nerve is infected or a core build-up if there is not enough healthy tooth structure to support the crown.
After a clinical examination and X-rays, our team will explain your treatment options and provide a clear cost estimate so you understand the total investment before proceeding.
How do I know if I need a dental crown?
You may need a dental crown if,
- Your tooth has a cavity that is too large to be fixed with a regular filling.
- You have a cracked, fractured, or broken tooth that needs to be held together.
- You have recently had a root canal and need to strengthen the weakened tooth.
- Your teeth are severely worn down from grinding or acid erosion.
- An old, large filling is failing and no longer protects your tooth.
- You want to cover a badly discoloured or misshapen tooth to improve your smile.
- You need a permanent, functional tooth to be placed on top of a dental implant.
- You need strong anchor teeth to securely hold a dental bridge in place.
Our expert team will check your oral health to determine if a dental crown is the right fit for you. If not, we will suggest alternative treatments to restore your smile.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, each offering distinct advantages in terms of strength, appearance, and cost. The right choice depends on your dental needs, smile goals, and budget.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are highly aesthetic and designed to closely match the colour of natural teeth. They are a popular choice for front teeth because of their lifelike appearance.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
These crowns have a metal base covered with porcelain, combining durability with a natural look. While strong, the metal underneath can sometimes show as a thin dark line near the gum over time.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns are very strong and resistant to wear, making them ideal for both front and back teeth. They also offer a natural appearance and are less likely to chip than porcelain.
Metal Crowns
Made from alloys like gold or other metals, these crowns are extremely durable and long-lasting. Although they don’t blend in aesthetically, they are often used for molars where strength matters most.
Composite Resin Crowns
Composite resin crowns are a more affordable option but are less durable and more prone to staining and wear than porcelain or zirconia crowns. They are typically used as a short- to medium-term solution.
Dental Crown Procedure
Initial Examination and Preparation
Our dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to check its roots and surrounding bone. If the tooth is severely decayed or damaged, additional treatment (such as a root canal) may be needed before the crown is placed.
Tooth Reshaping
A small amount of enamel is carefully removed from the tooth’s surface to make room for the crown. This ensures a secure and natural fit.
Impressions Taken
An impression or digital scan of your tooth is made and sent to a dental lab, where your custom crown is crafted to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth.
Temporary Crown Placement
A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth while your permanent crown is being made. This also allows you to eat and speak normally in the meantime.
Final Crown Placement
At your second visit, your dentist checks the fit and appearance of the permanent crown before cementing it securely in place. Final adjustments are made so your bite feels natural and comfortable.
Why Use Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns help preserve and protect weakened or damaged teeth, especially those that have undergone root canal treatment. By covering the entire visible portion of the tooth, a crown provides strength, prevents further breakage, and restores function. Crowns are highly durable, stain-resistant, and designed to mimic the look and feel of a natural tooth—most patients forget they even have one.
In addition to restoring function, dental crowns can also improve the appearance of your smile. They are often recommended for front teeth with large, old fillings, severe discoloration, or significant wear. If you’re considering dental crowns to enhance your smile or protect a compromised tooth, speak with your dentist at Springfield Dental to find out if this treatment is right for you.
