Dental crowns in New Westminster are used to protect the tooth under it. After a root canal procedure, your dentist can install crowns in New Westminster. This can also be used to protect a tooth that has succumbed to decay. If a big portion of the walls of the tooth is gone, the dentist will put crowns to restore the tooth.

But over time, the crowns can also show signs of damage. You would want to recognize these signs and get a replacement as needed.

One tell-tale sign that says you need to replace the crown is if the gums around it are slowly receding. You might notice that the crown looks bigger than before or the roots of your tooth are partially exposed.

Another sign is the blackening of the gums under the crown. It’s more of an aesthetic problem than a problem in the gums. Once the crown is fixed, the discoloration should also go away on its own. However, the tooth should be inspected to find out if it needs to get a root canal procedure.

Keep in mind that most crowns only last for about 10-15 years. If your dental crown is nearing that maximum lifespan, you should consider going to dental clinics like Belmont Dental Centre to have it checked.

Getting a new dental crown will ensure that the tooth it is protecting will stay protected. Proper installation is important so that your new dental crown will last for 15 more years. Look for a dental clinic experienced in administering cosmetic dental treatments.
