How Long is a Dental Crown Supposed to Last?

Dental Crown Longevity

We use the highest-quality materials for long-lasting results. But nothing lasts forever, primarily when it comes to the human body. There are so many variables, and our jaws are dynamic, which means things are constantly changing.

We usually say a crown’s maximum longevity is approximately 10 years. But they generally can last anywhere from 5-15 years.

When we carry out any treatment on your teeth, we do so with longevity in mind. At our Hertfordshire clinic, we use various innovative techniques to ensure treatments are long-lasting.

This means we do not expect to re-do any treatment in the future.

How do we make sure your crowns last as long as possible?

We do several things to make sure that we give your dentistry and mouth the best chance possible. However, how long any treatment lasts varies from person to person and the complexity of their treatment. Repair your teeth today.

Correct treatment planning

It is essential that we fully understand your mouth before we recommend treatment. This facilitates our choosing the most appropriate treatment for your specific case.

We do this by discussing your specific needs and requirements at length. After that, we conduct an extensive detailed clinical assessment and evaluation of your teeth, gums and smile.

We usually also need other diagnostics at this stage such as radiographs (X-rays) or study models.

Once we have collated all this information, we carefully plan how to proceed to provide you with a solid foundation of healthy teeth that also look good. We then select the most appropriate and viable treatment options.

Most compatible treatments

Compatible treatments are likelier to last in your mouth than standard treatments aimed at everybody.

We have found that a customized approach yields much better success, in the long run, producing long-lasting dentistry regardless of what that dentistry is.

This is because the chosen dentistry materials, products and brands are most relevant to you.

Innovative long-term dentistry

After selecting the right type of treatment for you individually, we ensure that we are using the latest technology to ensure a speedy and comfortable treatment.

We use the latest bonding agents and manufacturing techniques to create a treatment that is more likely to last a long time.

Highly skilled and experienced dentists also carry out the treatment. They now teach these same techniques to other qualified dentists.

Their careful attention to detail and fuller understanding of the technologies make their treatment last longer.

Regular post-operative care

It is also important to have regular checks with the dentist and the hygienist following any type of dentistry. This ensures the longevity of any treatment.

We examine not only the teeth but also the proper functioning of them.

The human body is always changing, and the same applies to teeth. It is important to note any damaging changes sooner rather than later.

We also check your oral hygiene to ensure no gum disease or dental decay is developing.

At these review and checkup appointments, we may take more radiographs (X-rays) to help with our diagnosis. We can also take other diagnostics based on what we need at the time.

During these regular checkups, we can make sure that we intervene if necessary at the right time preventing any relapse of treatment or recognizing other issues.

Committed to giving you the best possible care

How long a crown lasts will be dependent upon how complex a particular case is and following the guidelines set out above. Find out more about how we make our treatments virtually painless.
