How Long Will My Dental Crown Last? | El Paso, TX
On average, the dental crown can last for about 8 years or more. Several factors may impact the lifespan of dental crowns in El Paso.
These include:
Bad Habits: Grinding or clenching your teeth can damage your crown. You should avoid crunching down on the ice and hard food items, such as hard candies, nuts, crabs, etc.
Oral Hygiene: Neglecting your oral care routine like brushing for two minutes two times a day and flossing regularly will impact the natural tooth structure by forming decay below the dental crown.
Materials Used: Depending upon the dental procedure, cost, and patient needs, the types of the crown will vary. There are different types of dental crowns available, and they are made from different materials such as metal, porcelain, and ceramic. Metal crowns are more durable than porcelain crowns and ceramic crowns.
