When should I replace the crown? dental crown lifespan_Seoul Dental Clinic

As alternative prosthetic treatment methods, depending on the degree of damage to the teeth, inlays, crown (prothetics), and bridges can be considered. Among them, in the case of molars that have wide damaged area and receive a lot of force, treatment can be carries out by putting on a crown that resembles the hard outer surface and the function and model of natural teeth.

 

 

Everything tends to wear out and wear out over a long period of time. Crown can be seen as well. So, I think many people will have a lot of questions about the timing and lifespan of dental crown replacement.

 

Although the replacement period of the prosthesis has not been specifically set, it is gernerally considered to be 7 ~ 8 years as lifespan, but in fact, it may be used for a longer period or less depending on how it is managed. Therefore, it can be said that it is important to have a dental check-up through regular dental checkups (1~2 times a year) after 5 years have passed since the prothesis was places.

 

 

Depending on the material of the crown, it may also affect the timing of tooth crown replacement. The are gold. PRM, and Zicronia crowns. Gold is biocompatible and similiar in strength to teeth, but has poor esthetics and is used for teeth located inside such as molars.PFM is material with increased strength and esthetics by putting metal insde cerramics, but over time, the metal inside can be reflected, so it can rather anesthetic.

 

 

Zirconia is made of artificial diamond material and has high esthetic because it can reproduce the color most similar to natural teeth. Compared to that, it has a lower thermal conductivity, so it has the advantage of being slow to change in teperature from hot to cold. 

 

 

In gerneral, some people think that teeth covered with prostheses are safe from cavities. However, if oral care is neglected, the inside of the prosthesis may rot or deform, requiring a new fabrication. Even if secondary tooth decay or special problems do not occur, the prosthesis may break or fall due to ingestion of sticky or chewy food, so it is possible to reattach the prosthetsis. 

 

 

If the tooth show symptoms such as soreness, chewing pain, odor, or discoloration, there is a possiblity that there is a problem with the prosthesis. It can be said that it is important to visit the dentist and check the timing of tooth crown replacement. 

 

 

It is important for younger people to have a clearer treatment plan with much longer-term goal than older people. In case of missing teeth, if you want chewing power and lasting power similiar to natural teeth, implant treatment is suitable. 

 

 

For all prostheses that are in the final stage after nerve treatment or implant placement, the timing of dental crown replacement is determined depending on whether or not they are managed. Yonsei Uline Dental Clinic provide you 1:1 English care so please do not hesitate to contact us!
