Question:
My dentist recommends I need new crowns on my back teeth due to the time of having had them initially put in.....20 years. My question: I haven't had any problem, sensitivity or otherwise with them... Is it a "given" that crowns need to be replaced because of the time they have been on? ...Visitor from CA

Answer:
There is no limit on how long a crown lasts. They should be replaced only for valid reasons such as recurrent decay, aesthetics, fracture, or when being used in a complete treatment plan such as adding to a bridge.

I have often thought that as Dentist's, we are always trying to put ourselves out of business by creating products that outlast our customers.
