If you\u2019ve had a dental crown<\/a> for a while, it\u2019s likely served you well. After all, the dental cap both protects and beautifies your tooth! Still, remember that you\u2019ll eventually need to replace it. Even the best crowns break down with continued use. As for when to time the replacement, let your local Naples dentist help out a bit. To that end, here\u2019s a summary of four signs you should replace your dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Gumline is Receding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following crown placement, you shouldn\u2019t see changes in the gums surrounding the treatment site. Over time, however, the gum tissue may pull away from the crowned tooth. Should that happen, you\u2019ll likely need a replacement crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, gum recession may indicate that the crown wasn\u2019t well-placed. The condition, you see, normally stems from bacteria and plaque buildup. The crown may be leaving spaces exposed to harmful microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, a receding gumline can be a sign of gum disease. The latter deserves immediate treatment, but a crown can interfere with that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Crown is Worn or Damaged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

True, the porcelain used in today\u2019s crowns is very durable. That said, the material isn\u2019t invincible. If your crown looks worn down, you should seriously consider replacing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, crowns can break or chip due to everyday use. This outcome is especially likely for those who grind their teeth. By applying such excessive force, a crown can wear down until it no longer protects its tooth. At that point, bacteria could reach beneath the cap and cause long-term issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Experience Aches or Swelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be clear, one of a crown\u2019s duties is to cover up a tooth\u2019s sensitive areas. It does so to ensure the pearly white avoids further decay. Given this fact, you may need a new crown if the underlying tooth (or its nearby gum tissue) is in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you start noticing aches or swelling, the crown no longer works well. It may be too high on the tooth or expose vulnerable areas to germs. Either way, a new crown is the best way to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Crown is 10+ Years Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s damaged or not, a crown loses effectiveness over time. So, you may want to consider replacement once it\u2019s ten years old or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truthfully, many crowns start to fail from the ten-year mark onward. While some can last over 15 years with proper care, your cap\u2019s lifespan depends on various lifestyle factors. It\u2019s thus a good idea to monitor it once it\u2019s lasted over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, there are ways to tell when to replace a dental crown. Therefore, see your dentist often – they can find the signs above before crown failure occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
