• With good dental care and a regular dental
  routine, a dental crown can last for many years.
  However, just like the natural teeth, there are
  many factors that can cause undue pressure on a
  dental crown, eventually resulting in a cracked
  crown or with damages to a point where a
  replacement crown in needed.

• Injury  An injury to the mouth or face, which
  involves a traumatic blow or fall, may cause a
  dental crown to crack or become heavily damaged.
  Of course, these sorts of injuries are impossible
  to prevent. However, precautions can be taken to
  ensure that the teeth and dental crowns are
  protected. Patients who are involved in sports or
  other physical activities that carry a threat of
  injury, should wear a custom sports mouth guard
  to protect the teeth in the case of a fall or
  other injury.

• Teeth grinding or clenching  Teeth grinding and
  clenching also referred to as Bruxism, puts an 
  excess amount of pressure on the teeth. With the
  teeth constantly pressing or grinding against
  each other, there could be a lot of damage that 
  could occur. Dental crowns are not meant to
  withstand these habits and can easily become
  damaged. Often, grinding and clenching happens at
  night, and if the patient is unable to control
  these habits through relaxation methods, a mouth
  guard should be would worn at night to protect
  the teeth from these damaging habits.

• Excessive wear and tear  Other habits, aside
  from clenching and grinding, that puts undue
  pressure on the teeth include, nail biting,
  phobias eating various hard material and eating
  hard candy. The best way to protect dental crowns
  from chipping and other damage is to avoid these
  habits and limit the intake of food that could
  put too much force on teeth and crowns.

• Poor dental health  Although a dental crown is
  meant to protect the natural tooth, plaque and
  tartar can build up around the surrounding gum
  line, and may work its way down to the tooth.
  The dental clinics in Dubai explains that if gum
  disease develops, the dental crown may not have
  any damage, but it will need to be removed to
  treat the teeth and gums.
