At Kierland Dental Studio, located at 7102 E Acoma Dr., Suite 3 in Scottsdale, AZ, understanding the longevity of dental crowns is key for patients considering this dental restoration. Dental crowns are designed to strengthen and protect damaged teeth, and with proper care, they can last many years, often ranging anywhere from 5 to 15 years, or even longer.
Factors contributing to the lifespan of dental crowns include the material used, oral hygiene practices, and individual habits. Crowns can be made from various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these. For instance, porcelain crowns are often favored for their natural appearance and ability to blend seamlessly with existing teeth. However, they may require more careful handling to avoid chips or fractures compared to their metal counterparts, which are highly durable. Understanding these nuances can assist patients in making informed choices during consultations.
Regular dental visits play an essential role in extending the lifespan of crowns. Our team at Kierland Dental Studio emphasizes the importance of preventative care to monitor the condition of the crowns and address any potential issues early. A commitment to proper at-home care, which includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing, is also vital for maintaining the health of both the crowns and the surrounding teeth. Dr. Hugh Jernigan encourages patients to maintain consistent and diligent oral hygiene routines, as they can significantly impact the overall durability of dental restorations.
Additionally, certain lifestyle habits can affect the longevity of dental crowns. Avoiding hard foods and using teeth as tools should be discouraged. Patients who grind their teeth may also need to wear a nightguard to prevent undue pressure on the crowns. By following these simple guidelines, patients can enjoy the benefits of their dental crowns for an extended period.
