Byron Bay Dental Crown
A dental crown is a covering designed to protect and restore a tooth that has been damaged, weakened, or treated through procedures like root canal therapy. At Bytes of Byron – Bio Holistic Dentistry, our Byron Bay and Lennox Head clinics offer crown restorations that support long-term function while prioritising biocompatible materials and minimally invasive techniques. Crowns are shaped to match your existing bite and tooth contour, helping to preserve alignment and chewing ability.
The crown acts as a protective shell, absorbing bite forces and helping to prevent further breakdown. At Bytes of Byron, we use materials selected for strength, aesthetics, and compatibility with individual health goals.
Treatment involves an initial assessment and preparation of the affected tooth, followed by digital scans or impressions used to design the crown. While the final crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth in the meantime. Once complete, the crown is fitted and adjusted for comfort and bite function. To learn more or book an assessment, contact us on (02) 6680 8066.
Caring For Your Crowns
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia, depending on the tooth’s location and functional needs. Ceramic options are commonly chosen for their appearance and metal-free composition. Your dentist will explain the differences and help you decide which option suits your clinical situation and personal preferences.
A dental crown may be placed on natural teeth or on top of a dental implant. In both cases, the crown restores the shape, strength, and function of the tooth. The treatment process typically takes two appointments—one for preparation and one for fitting—though timelines may vary. Where appropriate, adjustments can be made to improve fit, shade, or contact points with neighbouring teeth.
Crowns require the same level of care as natural teeth, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional check-ups. While durable, crowns are not immune to wear or damage and may need to be replaced over time. Avoiding habits such as nail-biting, teeth grinding, or chewing hard objects can help prolong the life of your crown. For more information or to schedule a consultation, call (02) 6680 8066.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental crown last?
With regular care, crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Longevity depends on factors like material type, bite pressure, oral hygiene, and habits such as clenching or grinding. Regular dental check-ups can help identify any signs of wear or damage early, before complications develop.
Can a crown be placed on a broken tooth?

Not always—but in many cases, especially for molars or heavily restored teeth, a crown is advised to reduce the risk of fractures. The remaining tooth structure is often weakened after root canal treatment, and a crown helps protect it during chewing. Your dentist will assess the tooth’s strength and location before making a recommendation.
