What happens after 10 years?
A healthy crown may simply need monitoring. We only discuss replacement if decay, leakage, fracture, poor fit, gum changes or cosmetic concerns appear.
How many times can you replace a crown?
You can often replace a crown more than once, but each replacement depends on how much healthy tooth remains and how stable the root and gum support stay.

Can teeth decay under dental crowns Liverpool patients already have?
Yes. The crown itself does not decay, but the natural tooth at the crown margin can. Therefore, gumline cleaning, interdental cleaning and hygiene appointments matter.
For example, warning signs can include a loose crown, sensitivity, an odd taste, bleeding gums around the tooth, a dark line near the margin or a change in your bite. If something feels different, book a review early.
