How long do crowns last?
Crowns can last a very long time, depending on how well their owners treat them. Remember that a crown covers a living tooth. This means that the tooth is still susceptible to decay. Plaque can form at the bottom of the crown and decay can work its way under the crown. Gum disease can just worsen this problem. The way to keep your crown as long as possible is to brush and floss the crown’s base carefully. Getting periodic checkups helps make sure the crown, tooth and gum tissue around it stay in good shape, too.
