Tweed Heads Dental Crowns
30+
Years in the Industry.
At Tweed City Dental, we offer dental crowns to restore the strength and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth. Our clinic in Tweed Heads provides customised crowns designed to blend with your natural teeth, helping to protect vulnerable areas from further damage. Crowns are often used when a tooth is fractured, worn down, or has undergone significant restorative work.
Dental crowns are a practical way to preserve the function of a tooth while improving its look. We use quality materials that are selected based on durability and aesthetics, ensuring that the crown feels comfortable and looks natural. Each crown is shaped and coloured to match the surrounding teeth, creating a seamless finish that supports everyday use.
In some cases, crowns are used in combination with tooth coloured fillings to restore both function and appearance after significant decay. To discuss your options or book a consultation, call 07 5524 8888.

Restoring Teeth with Custom Crowns
We take a careful approach to planning and placing dental crowns, ensuring that each one fits securely and complements your smile. The process begins with a thorough assessment to determine the best type of crown for your needs, whether it’s porcelain, ceramic, or another suitable material. After preparing the tooth, we take impressions to create a crown that aligns with your bite and overall dental structure.
Crowns are designed to withstand normal chewing and speaking forces, making them suitable for both front and back teeth. In some cases, a crown is used to complete a dental implant or protect a tooth after root canal treatment. Follow-up visits help monitor how the crown is performing and promote long-term comfort and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental crowns made of?
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, each suited to different needs. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular for their natural appearance, matching the colour of surrounding teeth. Metal crowns, often made from alloys, are known for their strength and are typically used for back teeth. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns combine durability with a more aesthetic finish. The choice of material depends on the location of the tooth, personal preference, and the function required.
What should I do if my crown feels loose or uncomfortable?
If a dental crown feels loose, it may indicate that the cement has weakened or the underlying tooth has changed. Avoid chewing on that side until it can be assessed. Sometimes a loose crown can be temporarily secured with dental cement available at pharmacies, but it’s important to have it properly evaluated to ensure the tooth beneath is still protected. Seeing a dentist promptly helps prevent complications.
Can crowns stain or discolour over time?
Crowns made from porcelain or ceramic are designed to resist staining, unlike natural teeth. However, the area where the crown meets the natural tooth can sometimes collect plaque or stain if oral hygiene is not maintained. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings help keep both the crown and surrounding teeth looking their best. Using non-abrasive toothpaste is also recommended to avoid scratching the surface.
Can dental crowns be replaced if they become worn or damaged?
Yes, dental crowns can be replaced if they become worn, chipped, or loose over time. Replacing a crown typically involves removing the old one, assessing the underlying tooth, and creating a new customised crown. Regular dental check-ups help monitor the condition of existing crowns, allowing any issues to be addressed early. If a crown breaks or becomes uncomfortable, it’s important to seek dental advice to prevent further complications.
