Zirconia crowns are known for their durability and longevity. When properly cared for, they can last for many years, even decades. While there is no definitive lifespan for zirconia crowns, studies have shown that they have a high success rate and can withstand the forces of chewing and biting over an extended period. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, to ensure the longevity of your zirconia crowns. Additionally, avoiding habits like teeth grinding or biting hard objects can help prolong the lifespan of your crowns. Your dentist can provide specific guidance on caring for your zirconia crowns and monitor their condition during routine dental visits to ensure they continue to function effectively for years to come.
Hi there, Zirconia crowns are known for their durability and longevity. On average, zirconia crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care and maintenance. However, it's important to note that the lifespan of a zirconia crown can vary depending on several factors, including oral hygiene practices, habits such as teeth grinding, and the overall health of the surrounding teeth and gums. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, can help extend the lifespan of zirconia crowns.
