Crowns and bridges often last 10–15 years, and sometimes longer, with good home care and routine dental visits. Good home oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day and daily flossing, is critical to the longevity of your restoration. We’ll monitor it over time and let you know if anything needs attention.

FAQ
-
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
-
Do I need a crown or a bridge?
A crown protects and restores a damaged or weakened tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring the restoration to neighboring teeth or dental implants. We’ll evaluate your smile, explain the pros and cons of each option, and help you choose what makes sense without pushing unnecessary treatment.
-
Is getting a dental crown or bridge painful?
You shouldn’t feel pain while your tooth is being prepared because we’ll numb the area first. Some temporary sensitivity or soreness afterward is normal, but it should improve within a few days. We’ll keep you comfortable, explain what’s happening, and make sure you know what to expect before we get started.

Fillings and Sealants
Sealants work like caulk, blocking cavity-prone nooks and crannies before trouble starts. When decay does sneak through, tooth-colored fillings patch the damage early and help keep a root canal off your to-do list.
