How long do dental crowns last?
Quick answer
How long do dental crowns last?
With good hygiene and regular check-ups, dental crowns at York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet commonly last 10 to 15 years, and often longer.
Grinding, decay at the margin and a heavy bite shorten that. Crowns start from £795. If a crown fails, the tooth underneath can often be recrowned rather than extracted.
What you need to know
Crowns protect cracked, root-treated or heavily filled teeth. All-ceramic and zirconia are chosen for appearance on visible teeth; the right material depends on the bite, not Instagram.
Floss around the edge. A night guard protects both the crown and the opposing tooth if you clench. Missed hygiene is how margins leak.
Fees and materials are on dental crowns in West Byfleet. If the tooth is too broken, an implant may be the more honest next step.
