Dental crowns<\/a> are one of the most popular forms of dental work due to the incredible variety of things that they\u2019re capable of. Whether you need to repair a cavity, finish a root canal, or fix a cosmetic issue, this single treatment can help you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, dental crowns don\u2019t last forever. If you\u2019re wondering whether yours could need replacement, here are some signs you may want to watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Know When Dental Crowns Are Ready to Replace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should replace your dental crowns before they fail or fall off. To do that, you should be vigilant for any signs that your dental crown could be coming loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This might feel a lot like what you were feeling when you needed the dental crown in the first place\u2014sensitivity in the tooth, especially when eating or drinking. You might also be able to move the dental crown around or feel it wiggle slightly when you touch it with your tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist will be enormously helpful in being able to determine when your dental crown is on its last legs, so seeing them often if you have this kind of restoration is even more important than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Can I Expect My Dental Crown to Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a smart idea to start looking for signs of failure toward the end of its expected lifespan. Dental crowns can be made of a wide variety of materials, and the time you can expect them to last is heavily dependent on what they\u2019re made of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, dental crowns will last somewhere between 10-20 years if you maintain them well. Porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns will tend to fail on the earlier end of that, while metal crowns will last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Help Your Crowns Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want your dental crowns to stick around, you should take care to ensure that you don\u2019t wind up dealing with any additional tooth decay. You should brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to break up plaque deposits, clearing out any bacterial infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
