Protect Your Smile and Prevent Costly Repairs

Porcelain crowns are a popular and effective way to restore damaged teeth and enhance your smile. But just like any dental investment, they require proper maintenance to stay beautiful and functional. From minor chips to gum irritation or hidden decay, early care and attention can make all the difference. Whether you’ve had your crown for years or just got it placed, knowing how to care for porcelain crowns will help you avoid future dental issues and unnecessary expenses.

7 Essential Tips to Maintain Your Porcelain Crowns:

• Brush and Floss Daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratching the crown surface. Floss gently to remove food particles and prevent gum inflammation near the crown.

• Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods: Chewing ice, hard candies, or sticky treats can damage or dislodge the crown. Protect your dental work by making mindful food choices.

• Watch for Sensitivity: If your crowned tooth starts feeling sensitive to hot or cold, it may indicate gum recession or bonding issues. Don’t ignore this—schedule a quick checkup.

• Use a Night Guard (if needed): Grinding your teeth while sleeping can wear down or crack your crown. A custom night guard offers extra protection and can save you from costly repairs.

• Schedule Routine Dental Cleanings: Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that home care may miss—especially around the gum line of your crown.

• Be Cautious with Whitening Products: Porcelain doesn’t whiten like natural enamel. Excessive use of whitening treatments may create uneven coloring between your crown and other teeth.

• Keep an Eye on Your Bite: If your bite feels “off” after getting a crown, it may need an adjustment. Uneven pressure can cause wear or discomfort over time.

Don’t wait until pain or damage appears. A&A Dental Implant and Cosmetic Center provides expert care for porcelain crowns to help you maintain a confident, healthy smile. Whether you need a simple check-up or a complete crown replacement, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
