Unfortunately, many things aren't eternal. This is also true for dental crowns. You will need to have a new one put in periodically, because you put pressure on them while squashing down on them during eating.

The crowns must be switched even more often by those who grind their teeth at night. This will level out a dental crown, despite the material it's made from. If you'd like to thwart early dental crown replacement, then you should check into a bite guard.

I also suggest to all people with a crown that they need to brush their teeth even more often than usual. Dental crowns don't decompose. But you can't say the same thing for the stub that the crown is covering. If you never brush your teeth, leftover food particles will stick in any crevice they find.

Good for you, if the crown cement your dentist used is long-lasting. But probably, in the long run it will wear away. In particular, this is true if you drink a lot of pop or alcohol.

When this cement wears away, food gets stuck there. Then the food is eaten up by microbes. When they've gorged themselves, they make little plaque colonies. Next, they will find the remaining portion of your tooth root and have a big party. When they're through, you'll probably need more than a dental crown. It's possible that you might need to have that root extracted. Or you could have an implant put in.

You're at an advantage, in many ways, if you brush your teeth often. It does not take a great deal of time to keep your teeth clean–60 seconds? And, brushing your teeth is a whole lot easier and less expensive than a new dental crown.
