\"DentistA dental crown<\/a> is a popular option in restorative and cosmetic dentistry because it\u2019s a versatile solution to reinstate the health, function, and appearance of a tooth. Modern crowns are made of all-ceramic material, which allows them to look natural without compromising their durability. The average lifespan is about 10 years, but they are known to last for decades with the right aftercare. Even with the best preventive efforts, there will come a time when you will need dental crown replacement. Here are the most common signs you need a new restoration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Gum Recession<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Harmful bacteria can get trapped between the gum tissue and the crown. It can colonize without proper oral hygiene habits, which increases the risk of an infection called gum disease. If it\u2019s not treated quickly, it can destroy the tooth and its supporting structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the early stages of the infection, the gingival tissue near the crown can appear red or swollen. It might even bleed when you brush or floss your teeth. Over time, the gum line can recede. Not only can this signal that your crown is failing, but also that your oral health has been compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can help lessen your risk of gum disease and protect the longevity of your crown by brushing twice daily and flossing every night. Adding an antibacterial mouthrinse can help kill bacteria missed by your toothbrush and floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pain or Swelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any pain, swelling, or inflammation near the crowned tooth is a red flag, and it\u2019s best to visit your dentist right away. In some cases, it can indicate a minor issue that\u2019s easy to resolve, like the position of the crown. Other times, the cause can be more severe, like decay or infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you develop any discomfort, do not wait to contact your dentist. It\u2019s best to avoid chewing with the tooth until after the problem has been corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visual Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although crowns are made of durable material, they aren\u2019t indestructible. It can be damaged by various factors, like daily wear and tear. If you notice any chips, cracks, or other concerns, it\u2019s time to see your dentist. If your restoration is older than 10 years, its structure is more likely to be compromised. They will check it at every routine appointment to ensure it is functioning as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Unattractive Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern crowns are made from all-ceramic material to blend in with your natural teeth. If your restoration is more than a few years old, it might not look like a real tooth. In fact, it might even be made of metal. If you\u2019re dissatisfied with its appearance, your dentist can replace it to give you a beautiful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any signs of a failing crown, don\u2019t wait until it turns into a dental emergency. Contact your dentist right away to have it replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
