Dental crowns aren’t usually permanent.. They can last for many years. A fitted crown can feel so natural that you may stop thinking about it altogether. That\u2019s really the goal.<\/p>\r\n
A crown is strong. It isn\u2019t indestructible. The natural tooth underneath can still develop problems. The crown itself can become worn or damaged over time. The cement that holds it in place can also weaken.<\/p>\r\n
A crown sits next to your gums. If oral hygiene drops for long plaque can build up around the edge of the crown. That can lead to gum problems or decay in the tooth underneath.<\/p>\r\n
Teeth grinding is an one, especially if you clench hard at night without knowing it.<\/p>\r\n
Poor cleaning around the crown\u2019s edge can cause trouble because bacteria can still reach the tooth beneath it.<\/p>\r\n
A crown that takes repeated biting pressure may wear sooner although good planning makes a noticeable difference.<\/p>\r\n
Sticky foods aren\u2019t a problem but repeatedly pulling at a loose crown with them isn\u2019t exactly helping.<\/p>\r\n
Some people have crowns that stay perfectly usable for 20 years or more. That doesn\u2019t mean every crown will reach that age. The condition of the tooth underneath matters as much. So does what happens around the crown over the years.<\/p>\r\n
That\u2019s a normal outcome. A good crown should get out of your way.<\/p>\r\n
The boring advice is usually the advice here. Brush around the crown and clean between your teeth. Keep up with check-ups so your dentist can spot changes before they become bigger problems.<\/p>\r\n
Don\u2019t treat the crown like a tool either. Using your teeth to open packaging is a habit even when every tooth in your mouth is natural. A crown doesn\u2019t get protection from physics.<\/p>\r\n
A crown that\u2019s worn out doesn\u2019t always mean the tooth underneath is lost. Often the dentist can remove the crown and replace it with a new one after checking the tooth and surrounding tissue.<\/p>\r\n
If decay has developed underneath the crown or the tooth has cracked treatment becomes more involved. The dentist needs to deal with the problem before another crown can be placed.<\/p>\r\n
