Dental crowns typically last between 5 and 15 years, but with proper care, they can last for more than 15 years. The longevity of a crown depends on several factors, including the material it is made of, the placement of the crown in the mouth, and how well the patient maintains oral hygiene. Here is an article where you can learn about the dental crowning procedure - https://villagedentalmedicine.com/dental...procedure/. Porcelain crowns are very aesthetically pleasing and are ideal for front teeth. However, porcelain is not as strong as other materials and is more susceptible to chipping or cracking, especially when exposed to high chewing forces. With good care, porcelain crowns can last for about 10 to 15 years.

Zirconium is a very durable material often used for both front and back teeth. Zirconium crowns can last between 10 and 15 years, providing both durability and good aesthetics.

All-resin crowns: These are less durable and more susceptible to wear, cracking, and discoloration. Resin crowns are typically used as a temporary solution and typically last about 5 to 8 years.
