The duration of a dental crown depends on your watch out and from material with which it is made.

What is a Dental Crown?

In a treatment with Dental Implants, The Crown or Dental Prosthesis is the visible part of the tooth. It is made keeping the same aesthetics of the natural tooth: its shape and color.

A Dental Crown can be made of different materials, such as: zirconia, ceramics, porcelain and metallic or gold alloys. The type of material used will depend on its cost, aesthetics, resistance and duration.

Dental Crowns can be misfit or damaged by their use, changes in temperature, bruxism, traumatic bites and bad habits. 

Caring for a Dental Crown

To ensure that a Dental Crown can last a long time, you must take care of it. Here are some recommendations.

Maintain good oral hygiene

Brushing your teeth three times a day and flossing is very important. If proper oral hygiene is not carried out, inflammation of the gums and accumulation of tartar can occur, which will affect the good condition of the Dental Crown.

It is advisable to have oral irrigators to complement oral hygiene, as well as a good mouthwash.

You can use natural products like Bucoplack: cream, rinse and spray. These are recommended products for the care of your oral hygiene (ask us how to get it).

Avoid hard foods and don't use your teeth as a tool

Dental Crowns should not be subjected to excessive pressure. Pressure can wear them down, fracture, or loosen them. You should avoid:

• • Very hard and crunchy foods, such as pork rinds or biting into ice.
  • Use the teeth as a tool to cut or to open covers.
  • Biting your nails, especially if the Dental Prosthesis is for the front teeth (or front teeth).
  • 
    

Schedule your check-up appointments periodically

It is necessary to carry out a control of the treatment. In this way, any problem can be identified in time.

Periodic appointments can be made every 6 months or once a year, depending on what the specialist recommends. At these appointments you can also schedule your professional dental hygiene.
