The lifespan of a dental crown: What to expect and how to extend it
Dental crowns are caps for damaged teeth, made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, and resin. They last 5-15 years, with metal being most durable. Longevity depends on material, location, and care. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene extend lifespan. Replace crowns if damaged or over 15 years old.
