How Long Will Dental Crowns Last? Answers from Bondi Dental

How long dental crowns last depend on a number of factors, including oral hygiene, diet, trauma to the tooth and the type of dental crown you have.

Read on to learn more about dental crowns and ways to keep them for a long time.

Factors That Affect The Longevity Of Dental Crowns

For a dental crown to last long, these factors play an important role.

If a crown is made with the highest quality materials, fitted correctly to your bite, and well taken care of, it will possibly last for a lifetime.

Dental crowns can last for several years but are not designed to last a lifetime.

Even with proper care, dental patients should not expect crowns to be trouble-free for decades.

Though a crowned tooth does not need additional care, it does need 100% protection from decay, just as your natural teeth.

Make sure that you practice healthy oral hygiene habits and floss daily.
Clean the region around your crown thoroughly, especially your gumline.
Do not bite on hard or firm objects.
Attend regular check-ups to see if your crown shows any indication of damage, bite problems, and decay.
Do not grind/clench your teeth; this can damage the crown.

Dental crown problems should be addressed as soon as possible to ensure the problem does not worsen.

We would recommend contacting your Bondi dentist for a routine check-up to ensure nothing is out of the ordinary.
