How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?Ever wonder how long a dental crown should last? A study shows that dental crowns can last for decades or virtually your lifetime if they are well manufactured using appropriate materials, installed properly by an expert dentist and if the patient practices diligent home care.

On the other hand, like any other tooth replacements, you don’t always get a perfect result from dental crowns. All treatments have their positive and negatives with regard to how long they can last. But with proper care and professional maintenance, long-term success for your dental crowns is not impossible.

Dental Implants: The Health and Aesthetic Benefits

Dental Implants in Northmead The Health and Aesthetic BenefitsLips and cheeks that have collapsed inward and appear sunken cause an aged appearance. These are some of the effects of losing some or all of your teeth. Your natural teeth, healthy and biological, serve as the framework of your face. Without them, nothing will support the soft tissues of your cheeks and lips or elongate you face for a youthful appearance.

In addition, in the areas where the teeth are knocked-out or extracted, the jawbone starts to deteriorate gradually. If the lost teeth are not replaced, the person can look older than their actual age. On a brighter note, there are plenty of treatment options to bring back your smile. Dental implants can address both issues on aesthetics and bone health.
