Dental crowns and bridges are meant to be a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. On average, the lifespan is 10 years. If properly cared for, they can last up to 10 years or more. There are a few signs that tell you whether it’s time to replace your dental crown or bridge. For instance, receding gum line, pain or swelling around the crown or bridge, natural wear and tear are noticeable, and more. Regular visits to the dentist will allow your dental team to take note of any issues that may require you to replace your crown or bridge.
