\"Dentist<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dental crowns are designed to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth. However, like any other dental restoration<\/a>, they will eventually require replacement! But how can you tell when the time has come? Well, your crowns can tell you everything if you know where to look. Continue reading to learn the signs that your dentist should replace them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Visible Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Look at your dental crown regularly for any signs of visible damage. Chips, cracks, or fractures are easy to spot and usually mean a crown has reached the end of its time. These issues can weaken the integrity of the crown and increase the risk of damage to the underlying tooth structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Another obvious sign is if you experience persistent discomfort or pain around a crowned tooth. This could be a symptom of issues like decay or infection, so it\u2019s best to see your dentist quickly. Alternatively, if you feel discomfort when biting or chewing, it can also signal that your crown isn\u2019t fitting properly or has become loose.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When you\u2019ve had a dental crown for a while, the gums around it may begin to recede. This can expose a bit of the tooth’s root and the margin of the crown, creating a bacterial trap. Left untreated, this could become tooth decay or gum disease. So, if you notice gum recession near a crowned tooth, talk to your dentist about replacing your restoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental crowns are resistant to staining, but over time surface stains can accumulate and begin to discolor them. While this isn\u2019t necessarily cause for alarm, it can be disheartening to see your crowns become less aesthetically pleasing. When this happens, the best way to restore their shine is to have them replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your crowns are more than 10 years old, it may be time to see your dentist for evaluation. Over time, crowns and wear down from daily use and the likelihood of failure rises after around a decade of use. Sometimes it\u2019s better to replace it, even a little early, than to risk a dental emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you see any of these signs or symptoms associated with your dental crown, you may consider a change. Early intervention can help prevent further damage to your tooth and restore your smile. If you need more guidance, call your dentist and schedule a consultation. They can help evaluate your restorations and put you back on track for a clean bill of oral health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
