If you have a tooth\nthat\u2019s been severely weakened by decay or was broken after you got hit in the\nface, your dentist may be able to repair and protect it with a dental crown<\/a>. The question is, how long will the\nrestoration last? Here\u2019s what you can expect from dental crowns in Lincoln \u2013 as\nwell as ways you can make sure you get as many years of use as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Lifespan of a Dental Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On average, dental crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15\nyears; it largely depends on what they\u2019re made of and how well you take care of\nthem. Crowns can be made of ceramic and porcelain for cosmetic reasons, but\ntraditional metal crowns are still sometimes used today. A metal restoration is\nsometimes more durable, especially when used on the back teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, good maintenance is by far the most important\nfactor. In general, you\u2019ll get the best results from practicing good oral\nhygiene, avoiding poor mouth related habits (such as not brushing regularly or\nfrequently biting down on hard objects), and limiting the amount of wear and\ntear you put on your crown. To put it simply: you should protect your\nrestoration the same way you would protect the rest of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
