Dental crowns are not susceptible to decay, however, there is a risk of decay where the remainder of your natural tooth lines up with the crown. Regular brushing and flossing can minimize decay. Regular check-ups are not only important for your natural teeth, but it is important for your dentist to check on the condition of the crown. The better you maintain a porcelain crown, the longer the longevity.
If you care for your dental crown, it can protect what remains of your natural tooth for a lifetime. A crown can defend your tooth from further damage and decay. If you have any vulnerable or damaged teeth, a crown could restore it.
