Dental crowns and bridges can usually last anywhere from 10 to 15 years before they need to be replaced. Sometimes dental restorations need to be replaced regardless of how well you take care of them, but there are a few things you can do to try to extend the lifespan of your bridge or crown. Practicing good oral hygiene at home and visiting our office regularly helps, as does avoiding chewing things like ice, hard candy, and popcorn kernels with your restorations and natural teeth. When it’s time to replace your bridge or crown, our team will be glad to assist!
