Most dental crowns have an average life expectancy of 10 to 30 years. That is a large span, but every single crown and every single patient is different. Some crowns may last a lifetime, while another could crack or chip sooner.
Your dentist might estimate one crown to last 15 years, and then estimate another to last about 20. It is an educated estimate and not a promise but will help you to make the right choice for yourself.
Dental insurance will usually cover a dental crown replacement after 5 to 8 years. There is an exceptionally good chance your crown will last longer, so financially speaking dental crowns continue to be a practical choice.
Crown materials- The materials chosen to make your dental crown all vary in both appearance and durability. A porcelain crown will look the most like your natural teeth, but it will not be as durable as any dental alloys.
The Life Expectancy of a Dental Crown
Dental alloys, on the other hand, will not match the appearance of your natural teeth as well as porcelain. Discuss with your dentist which material might be best for you and your lifestyle.
