Dental Crowns in Scottsdale at Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale
What Are Dental Crowns Made From?
Crowns can be made from various materials. In the early days of dentistry, they were often crafted from metals such as stainless steel. Here at Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale, we use porcelain crowns. We recommend porcelain for its strength and cosmetic appeal. Porcelain provides a better color match than other materials. It is also better for those who have metal allergies.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
Crowns last between five and fifteen years, depending on your oral health habits and the amount of wear and tear they receive. After we place your dental crown, you’ll want to avoid chewing ice and other hard foods, grinding your teeth, biting your fingernails, and opening packages with your teeth. This will help your crown last as long as possible.
