You may have a tooth that’s cracked, heavily filled or slowly wearing down. Maybe you’ve been told it’s at risk. Or maybe you’ve noticed yourself chewing on one side, avoiding something cold, or losing confidence in your bite.
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a dental crown can provide long-term strength and protection.
At Arc Dental in Surrey Hills, we custom-design dental crowns and bridges that blend seamlessly into your smile. Whether you need to repair a broken tooth or complete a root canal, your crown will restore more than just structure, but the full circle of your smile’s function.
Book your complimentary 60-minute consultation with Dr Yi to discuss your treatment options and whether dental crowns or dental bridges are right for you.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores strength, shape and appearance — allowing you to bite, chew and smile without compromise.
Crowns are often used when a tooth can no longer hold a filling, after a root canal, on top of dental implants, or when there’s visible damage, wear or a fracture in dental emergency cases.
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge may be used. This consists of a false tooth that fills the gap of the missing tooth, supported by dental crowns on the neighbouring teeth.
Dr Yi Chan is a Digital Smile Design (DSD) Master — a global distinction awarded to clinicians who deliver aesthetic, functional and digitally guided dental work to the highest standard.
That means your crown won’t be designed in isolation. It will be part of a deeply considered plan that takes into account your face, bite, and aesthetics. Premium craftsmanship combined with advanced tech means your ceramic dental crown or bridge will be shaped not just to fit — but to last.
Every crown is sculpted to match the curve of your bite and blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Eat, chew and speak naturally, without fear of further damage or discomfort.
Crafted from premium ceramic, your crown is built for everyday life and shaped with digital precision.
At Arc Dental, your new smile starts with a complimentary 60-minute consultation with Dr Yi Chan (usually valued at $407).
Includes:
Dr Yi will assess your teeth and gums, take digital scans and prepare the damaged tooth if needed, removing any decay or old restorations.
Your dental crown or bridge is carefully crafted in a local lab. We’ll place a temporary or provisional crown to keep your smile safe and strong in the interim.
We’ll place and polish your crown with precision, ensuring it fits within the arc of your bite and feels as natural as it looks.
The price for dental crowns and bridges will vary depending on the tooth or teeth being restored, the material used and whether any additional treatment (such as root canal therapy) is required. We’ll provide a clear, personalised quote in your treatment plan so you can proceed with confidence.
At our Surrey Hills dental clinic, you’ll always know your treatment costs upfront. Plus, you can pay in a way that’s comfortable for you with our affordable payment options.
Scared of the dentist? At Arc Dental, we know dental fear and anxiety can stop you from getting the treatment you need. That’s why we offer a range of sedation options, including oral sedation, IV sedation and general anaesthesia, to help you feel calm and comfortable while we care for your smile.

Most porcelain dental crowns last between 10 to 15 years, and with the right care, some may even last longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups will help to ensure a long lifespan.
The dental crown procedure is done under local anaesthetic, which numbs the mouth, and we also offer sleep dentistry for anxious patients. After placement, you may feel mild sensitivity, which usually resolves within a few days.
Absolutely. At our Surrey Hills dental practice, we colour-match your crown to your surrounding teeth and use high-grade ceramics for a lifelike finish. With Dr Yi is highly trained in restorative dentistry and facial aesthetics, so you can trust your dental crown or dental crown bridge will be shaped to fit both your smile and bite seamlessly.
Crowns are most often used on molars and premolars, but can also be used on front teeth for cosmetic and functional reasons. Dental crowns and bridges are often used in our full mouth reconstruction treatment or for patients seeking a complete smile makeover in Surrey Hills. We’ll recommend the most appropriate solution during your consultation.
A filling repairs a small area of damage, while a crown covers the entire tooth to restore structure and prevent further breakage. If a tooth is too compromised for a filling, a crown is usually the next step.
