How long do dental crowns last for?
Well, your dental insurance company will usually pay for a crown to be replaced every 5 years. But, most crowns last much longer than that. I’d say at least 7 to 10 years, but I’ve seen some that have lasted 20+ years. If the crown ever comes off, it can usually be re-cemented to the tooth. If a crown fails or becomes damaged in the future, it can most likely be replaced with a new crown as long as there is enough tooth structure left to support one. If you are confused as to what dental work you are having done, you need to call the dental office and clarify the actual procedure. They should explain all of these things to you before you have the work completed.
