Upkeep: They'll age too. Continue to visit a dentist. Any work on a tooth, like the teeth themselves, need to be evaluated and maintained. Good news is i've seen work that has held up for over 30 years!

Longevity: With good brushing after meals, reg flossing, Fluoride rinses, dental cleanings and scheduled radiographs, eating healthy, avoiding sugar and carbonated products the dental materials in your mouth should last many years. Porcelain can fracture just as teeth can break so be cautious.

Theey wear down: They will wear down and change contour as you use them over time. To help reduce this and the wear on your natural tooth , you should wear a custom made nightguard.
