Yes! It is recommended to have dental hygiene 2 times a year to maintain the appearance of a filling, crown, onlay or any other tooth restoration. It has been proven that dental restorations last longer if hygiene recommendations are followed.

Each filling and crown has its own lifespan and with proper care will last you longer. If you do not want to change fillings, crowns or other restorations often, follow the recommendations of your dentist and hygienist by having a dental hygiene appointment 2 times a year.

The video below shows a patient of ours who regularly visits her dental hygienist and dentist. The patient wants to maintain the natural appearance of her maxillary veneers and crowns for as long as possible. It has been 6 years since the veneers and crowns were cemented, but all the restorations look excellent. The veneers and crowns have maintained their appearance and function thanks not only to the work of the dentist, but also to the patient’s motivation to follow all the dentist’s recommendations.
