Crown manufacture is an intricate and time-consuming process. A skilfully crafted crown will replicate all the details of nature, minimize decay, and preserve your tooth. But isn’t one crown the same as another? Dental crown cost in Australia can vary greatly depending placement and material used for a crown.

With demand for cheaper consumables, dentistry has also experienced a move in the direction of budget or economy crowns. However, these differ from the traditional, higher quality crowns, in that we do not have the same control over their manufacture. This is reflected in the health and appearance of your teeth.

We understand price can influence a patient’s decision when choosing their dental provider. The advice I give my patients is that you get what you pay for. A high quality crown is likely to last a very long time. Cheaper, budget crowns have a much higher likelihood of failing in the short-term and replacement is expensive.
