Make no mistake, they\u2019re built to last and will go strong for 15 years or more when taken care of properly. But if you start to notice signs that your crown is nearing its expiration date, it\u2019s a good idea to have your dentist take a look at it. Keep reading so you\u2019ll know what to watch out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the area around your crown is swollen or tender, it\u2019s time for a dental exam. Irritation and general discomfort could indicate that the tooth underneath your restoration has a cavity \u2013 or it could simply mean your crown doesn\u2019t fit quite right. Either way, you\u2019ll need your dentist\u2019s intervention and prompt treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visible Wear or Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Has it been a few years since you\u2019ve gotten your crown? Go ahead and check on it in the mirror every so often. Visible cracks, chips, and other signs of wear or damage mean you\u2019re in need of a replacement. A compromised crown can\u2019t protect the tooth underneath it very well, so you\u2019ll want a newer, fresher shield to avoid oral health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Aesthetics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good visual cue is cosmetic blemishes. A crown should look like a seamless part of your smile, and if it\u2019s stained, misshapen, or discolored, you\u2019ll likely not be satisfied with its appearance. Your dentist wants to help you feel fully confident in your teeth, which sometimes means replacing crowns that simply don\u2019t look good anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looseness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A loose crown is about as useful as a damaged one! The wiggles can result from faulty dental cement or a poor fit, in which case there are likely open cracks that bacteria can slip through or get stuck in. These spaces can be difficult for your average toothbrush to reach, and the more bacteria accumulate, the more danger your natural tooth is in. Repairs or a replacement is definitely called for in this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of good reasons to swap out your dental crown for a new one. Though you can expect it to last you a good while, knowing what warning signs to watch out for can help you protect the tooth underneath. Let your dentist know if you experience any abnormalities with your crown, and they\u2019ll take good care of you and your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirosaatidmd.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Spiro Saati<\/a> is a proud member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Dental Association, among other notable organizations.
