Over time, dental crowns may reach the end of their lifespan or no longer meet aesthetic expectations for various reasons. One of the most common questions we receive from our patients is:

“Can old dental crowns be replaced?”

As Dent Laracity, serving in Antalya, we are here to clarify this question for you.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

Porcelain, zirconium, or metal-supported crowns generally last between 10 and 15 years under healthy conditions. However, their lifespan can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and the quality of the materials used for the crown.

When Should Dental Crowns Be Replaced?

Crown replacement may be necessary in the following situations:

• Cracks, fractures, or wear on the crown

• Gum recession exposing the edges of the crown

• Discoloration or loss of color harmony with surrounding teeth

• Unsatisfactory aesthetics

• Development of decay or gum infections under the crown

These situations require replacement both for aesthetic reasons and for maintaining oral health.

How Does the Dental Crown Replacement Process Work?

At Dent Laracity, the crown replacement process involves the following steps:

1. Examination and X-Ray Evaluation:
The underlying tooth structure and gum condition are carefully assessed.

2. Removal of the Old Crown:
The existing crown is carefully removed, and the tooth underneath is evaluated.

3. Necessary Treatments (If Any):
Any decay, gum issues, or infections are treated before proceeding.

4. Preparation for the New Crown:
The most suitable material (such as zirconium or E.max) is selected based on the patient’s aesthetic expectations, and impressions are taken.

5. Application of the New Crown:
The new crown, which is durable, natural-looking, and compatible with the gums, is securely placed on the tooth.
