How Long Does a Dental Crown Last?

Dental crowns are designed to last a long time, but eventually, they will require a proper replacement. If properly cared for, a dental crown can last you a long time. In the majority of cases, the lifespan of a single dental crown can be as long as 15-30 years. Typically, a dental crown lasts between 5 to 15 years before you need to replace it. This, however, depends on quite a few different factors, many of which are in your control. 

What Affects the Lifespan of Your Dental Crown?

The lifespan of your dental crowns is deeply influenced by your lifestyle, dental hygiene, and of course, the quality of the dental crown itself. Probably the biggest deciding factor is your dentist’s expertise. Luckily, Dr. Samadian is a true professional that will not let you down. He and his team have gifted their patients with long-lasting, attractive smiles that they no longer feel the need to hide. 

Then, there is the material that has been used in the process. It is said that porcelain dental crowns have the longest lifespan of them all. In the end, however, it is your lifestyle that probably has the biggest influence on them all. Grinding and clenching your teeth, biting your nails, and chewing ice are some of the poor mouth-related habits that shorten the lifespan of your dental crowns. It is important that you take good care of your oral health and visit your dentist for any dental-related issues in the future. Do report any dental issues to your dentist right away.

How to Know When Your Dental Crown Needs Replacing?

As we explained, even the most durable dental crowns will eventually need to be replaced. A good sign that your dental crown needs replacing is noticing any cracks or chips within it. Living with a damaged dental crown exposes you to many dental risks. A cracked dental crown allows for food and bacteria to travel underneath the crown itself. Over time, you will develop dental cavities, and your teeth will become severely damaged. If it is time or money that is making you wait, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Samadian.
