Dental crowns are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but their lifespan depends on factors such as your daily oral care habits and how well you maintain regular dental check-ups and cleanings. At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry in Lowell, MA, we use high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure your crown lasts for many years. With proper care, most of our dental crowns can last at least 10 years or longer.
We use zirconia crowns, which are known for their strength and durability. Zirconia is one of the most robust materials used in modern dentistry, providing long-lasting protection for your tooth while offering a natural-looking appearance. Our crowns are crafted using a precise digital workflow, ensuring a perfect fit and minimizing the need for adjustments. This advanced technology allows us to create crowns that fit seamlessly and comfortably in your mouth so you can speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
We also use the strongest bonding agents available, ensuring your crown stays securely in place for years to come. However, the most common reason crowns fail is not due to the materials themselves but because of new decay forming on the tooth next to the crown or the tooth becoming compromised by gum disease.
At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry, we’re committed to the longevity of your dental crown. During your consultation, Dr. Luz will discuss any personal factors that could affect the lifespan of your crown and how we can address them. Additionally, we offer free repairs for any mechanical issues within the first two years after placement, as we stand by the quality of our work.
