Are Dental Crowns Warrantied?
Many dental offices offer a warranty on dental crowns, typically ranging from 1 to 5 years. Warranty terms depend on patient compliance with hygiene recommendations and follow-up appointments.
What a Crown Warranty Covers
A dental crown warranty generally covers defects in fabrication or a crown that chips, cracks, or de-bonds within the warranty period. Warranties typically do not cover damage from bruxism, trauma, decay under the crown, or failure to maintain proper hygiene.
Protecting Your Crown
To maximize crown lifespan: maintain excellent oral hygiene, wear a night guard if you grind, avoid biting hard objects, and attend regular check-ups so wear can be monitored.
- Brush and floss around the crown daily
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Avoid chewing ice or hard non-food items
- Attend regular cleanings and exams
