While most people finding out that they need a dental crown might wonder whether the procedure will hurt, how expensive it will be, and what the crown will look like, they should also consider how long they can expect their crown to last. Here\u2019s how long your dental crown can last and how you can maximize its lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Can My Dental Crown Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental crown\u2019s lifespan depends mostly on how well the patient takes care of it and what material it is made from. Most dental crowns last between five to fifteen years, and porcelain or ceramic crowns average out at about ten years. However, they can last even longer with excellent care. While porcelain or ceramic crowns are more prone to chipping and cracking than metal ones, they also look more like natural teeth and do not react to temperature shifts in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Factors Can Influence How Long My Dental Crown Can Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crown\u2019s location plays a large role in how long the restoration can last. Molars take the brunt of the chewing pressure in the mouth, so crowns placed there can be exposed to more stress than ones placed on the front teeth. If a crown isn\u2019t constructed properly, it might not fit well enough to form a lasting bond. This can also lead to issues such as a misaligned bite or even damage to other teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Habits Can Shorten the Life of My Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the bad habits that can damage teeth can reduce the lifespan of a dental crown. Chewing on ice or frequent teeth grinding can cause a crown to wear out faster. Using your teeth to open bottles or packages can also chip, crack, break, or dislodge a crown. Poor oral hygiene can allow cavities to develop under a crown, and your dentist will have to remove the restoration before treating the infection. However, not every failed crown is the fault of the patient. Sometimes, they can fail as a result of being poorly placed or because the tooth was not adequately treated for infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits are two of the best ways to keep your crown in fighting shape for the long run, and replacing your crown in a timely manner can help keep your teeth healthy and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Souris Valley Dental Group uses modern treatment techniques and technologies to keep families smiling in Minot, ND.
