It\u2019s incredible that something applied over the course of two appointments can have such a positive effect on your quality of life. What makes them even more magical is how long they\u2019ll last. If you\u2019re wondering about dental crowns\u2019 lifespan, here\u2019s a guide that should tell you everything you\u2019ll need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is that dental crowns tend to last anywhere from 5-15 years. Many factors determine the exact length of time, some under your control, some not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you can control is how well you take care of your restoration. Dental hygiene is massively important to the long-term success of your restoration. While plaque buildup probably won\u2019t damage your crown, it can lead to an infection in the natural tooth underneath. If the foundation your crown is built on begins to decay, it will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are, however, some contributing factors you can\u2019t control. One is the location the crown is placed in the mouth; molar crowns that grind up food will wear out faster than ones on your front teeth. Another is the material your crown is made of. All modern materials used in restorative dentistry are deeply reliable, but completely metal crowns are likely to last longer than porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Extend Your Crown\u2019s Lifespan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, dental hygiene is key to your restoration\u2019s longevity. \u201cHygiene,\u201d however, covers many different things. Here are a few tips to keep your crown secure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brush and floss daily<\/li><li>Don\u2019t use your teeth as tools<\/li><li>Refrain from biting your nails, pens, or other hard objects<\/li><li>Quit smoking<\/li><li>Drink plenty of water<\/li><li>Brush your tongue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Know When Your Crown Should be Replaced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your restoration won\u2019t last forever. No matter how diligent you are in your hygiene, the wear and tear of daily life means that eventually they\u2019ll need to be replaced. If your crown comes off, you should obviously make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. That said, most crown failures start with hairline fractures too small to notice. That means it\u2019s important to see your dentist biannually, so they can catch these issues before they result in dental emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way dental restorations make you feel may seem like magic, but in actuality, a great smile is the result of persistence on your part. If you take care of your crown, it will take care of you for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Claybrooke Dental of Gahanna, we have tailored every part of the dental experience to be as comfortable for you as possible.
