The team at Be Dental is highly experienced in providing patients with same day dental crowns. As we age, our teeth can begin to break down. Once more than half of a tooth has been replaced, a more durable option such as a crown may be required. Be Dental specialises in CEREC crowns, while also offering porcelain, zirconia, and gold crowns. The process for applying a crown typically takes around 80 to 100 minutes, from start to finish (including a 40-minute break in the middle where you can relax, have a coffee, or even do your shopping!)
Our Gold Coast dentists will do their best to ensure your dental crown process is smooth and straightforward.
Be Dental offers all dental implant solutions, from single implants to multiple teeth and full-arch implants. We utilise the JD Dental Implant system, performing most treatments in-house. The fully-guided surgery is completely planned on the computer prior to treatment, providing patients with dental implants Gold Coast residents can rely on. The dental implants timeline typically takes 3 to 6 months, from initial consultation to completion. We also offer in-house bone grafting and internal (transcrestal) sinus lifts.
We also offer restoration of implant systems that have been placed elsewhere.
Invisalign provides a gentler teeth straightening option compared to traditional braces. The clear trays tend to be less noticeable, providing a more inconspicuous alternative for those wanting straighter teeth. We’re proud to offer Invisalign treatment options to patients on the Gold Coast. Whether you’re after Invisalign or Invisalign Go solutions, our practice provides cosmetic dentistry Gold Coast patients can trust. We educate patients on the importance of Invisalign compliance during their treatment, providing a before and after simulation, for better understanding of potential results.

Will getting a dental implant hurt?
This is a very commonly asked question, so you’re not alone in wondering. The idea that implant surgery is painful is a common misconception. The truth is that this surgery is often less painful than a dental extraction. If you have anxieties or concerns about any of your procedures, our gentle staff are always happy to talk through your fears and provide you with further information and reassurance.
What’s the timeline for dental implants?
From timeline to completion, the average treatment timeline for dental implants is generally 3 to 6 months. This can differ depending on the grafting needs and the patient’s medical history.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns are quite durable, and will often last 10 or more years, provided they’re looked after well with regular dental checks and good oral hygiene.
How much does a CEREC crown cost?
Typically, a CEREC crown at Be Dental costs $1850. However, your dentist will discuss the exact pricing with you before treatment commences.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of time Invisalign treatment takes varies depending on compliance and the extent of work needed, however, it typically spans around 18 to 24 months.
Do you offer a free Invisalign consultation?
Yes, we do. We’re happy to provide patients with free Invisalign consultations to help them weigh up whether Invisalign treatment is of interest.
