EP 229: How Long Should Dentistry Last?

How long should dental work last? There's a common expectation that dental treatments, like crowns, should endure a lifetime. However, reality paints a more nuanced picture.  In today's episode, I will discuss how risk factors—such as dietary habits, functional pressure on teeth, and overall oral hygiene—play a pivotal role in determining how long dental treatments last. You'll hear insights on why a perfectly fitted crown can last 20-25 years for one person but only five years for another, and the importance of understanding personal risk levels. Tune in to learn more about the variables at play and how we strive to ensure our patients not only achieve but exceed their dental health goals, living a long and healthy life with their dental work lasting as long as possible.
