Crowns are a good treatment option if a tooth has fractured, has large encompassing decay or even for aesthetic purposes. During the procedure, the tooth will be prepared, made healthy and shaped to make room for the crown. A crown provides a covering over the tooth structure. It will look and function like your other teeth.
Do Dental Crowns Last Forever?
Crowns will last a very long time if well taken care of. Good home care and regular cleanings are necessary for upkeep on crowns. Crowns may need to be replaced after some time. There are several common reasons that crowns need to be replaced. One is that the crown gets cracked. This can happen when there are impacts to the tooth. Another reason is tooth decay of the remaining portion of the tooth underneath the crown. As we age, you may find that your gums recede, or the natural teeth may become darker. This can lead to having the crown changed. With proper care, however, the crown itself can last for many years.
