How long do crowns last, and when should they be replaced?
Many factors influence the longevity of crowns, including the type of crown used, the location of the crown in your mouth, your bite, your oral hygiene, and whether or not your grind your teeth at night. Crowns generally last between 10 and 20 years. Crowns may need to be replaced for a variety of reasons including breakage, wear, recurring decay, or a defective margin (seal).
