Many patients ask us, 'How long do dental crowns last?' A dental crown has the potential to serve you for around five to fifteen years. With proper home care and routine dental check-ups, the estimate may be exceeded for some people.
Here are some tips on how to promote the longevity of your dental crown.
Caring for Your Dental Crown
You can improve your tooth crown's lifespan by taking a few simple steps at home:
- Consistent brushing and flossing
- Avoiding sticky or chewy foods that could pull your crown off
- Don't chew on ice
- Never open or carry things with your teeth
Visiting your dentist every six months for routine check-ups and cleans also helps protect the health of your crown. Your dentist will take x-rays once each year to check the internal health of your crown. These images allow us to spot potential problems before they become more significant concerns.
