Sooner or later, your crown will need to be replaced. Here\u2019s what you need to know about the expected lifespan of your restoration \u2013 including how to extend it and the signs that it\u2019s time for a replacement.<\/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>Typically, the lifespan of your crown depends largely on how\nwell you take care of it. On average, it will last about 5 to 15 years.\nHowever, there are cases of crowns being kept for 25 or even 30 with excellent\nmaintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Extend a Crown\u2019s Lifespan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like your teeth, making your dental crown last requires\ndaily attention and care. Here are some good habits to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Avoid biting down on ice, fingernails, peppermints\nor any other especially hard object that can put undue wear and tear on your crown\n(as well as the rest of your teeth).<\/li><li>If you clench or grind your teeth at night, you\nshould get a night guard to prevent your crown from chipping or cracking. For\nthe best protection and maximum comfort, you should get a customized night\nguard from your dentist in Parker instead of buying one over the counter.<\/li><li>When you brush and floss twice a day, don\u2019t\nforget to pay attention to the area around the crown, particularly near the gum\nline. The crown itself can\u2019t get a cavity, but the tooth underneath could still\nsuffer from decay, and the nearby gum tissue might become infected if you don\u2019t\npractice good oral hygiene.<\/li><li>Attend at least two dental checkups and\ncleanings each year so that your dentist can check for decay, trauma or other\nissues around your dental crown.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Does a Crown Need to Be Replaced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to get a new dental crown as soon as possible if\nyour current one has become chipped or cracked. Also, if you notice any pain or\nswelling around your tooth or a receding gum line, it could be a sign that your\ncrown has been damaged even if you haven\u2019t noticed. Finally, a crown might need\nto be replaced if it simply has become too worn down to do its job properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the physical condition of your crown is more\nimportant than its age. During your next appointment, ask your dentist about\nwarning signs that your crown might fail as well as ways you can improve its\nmaintenance. By making the right decisions, you can ensure that your crown will\nstay to protect your smile for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Rodney L.
