How Long Do Dental Crowns Last? Expert Advice from Dr. Anshu Gupta
Dental crowns are one of the most trusted solutions to restore damaged, root canal-treated, or broken teeth. But if you’re planning to invest in one, you may be wondering:
“How long will my dental crown last?”
According to Dr. Anshu Gupta, leading cosmetic and implant dentist at Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh, the lifespan of your crown depends on various factors — from the material chosen to your oral hygiene and bite pressure.
In this blog, we answer your top questions and offer expert guidance to help you protect your smile for years to come.
🦷 How Long Do Dental Crowns Typically Last?
On average, dental crowns last:
Crown Type Average Lifespan
Zirconia Crown 10–15 years or more
E.max/Ceramic Crown 10–12 years
PFM Crown 8–10 years
Full Metal Crown 12–15 years or more
With excellent care, many crowns can last up to 20 years.
🧪 What Affects the Longevity of Dental Crowns?
Dr. Anshu Gupta explains the 6 key factors that impact how long your crown will last:
1. Crown Material
Zirconia and metal crowns are stronger and last longer than PFM or resin-based crowns. E.max is best for aesthetics but ideal for front teeth with less bite force.
2. Tooth Location
Crowns on back molars (which take more chewing pressure) wear faster than those on front teeth.
3. Oral Hygiene
Daily brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings every 6 months can prevent decay around the crowned tooth.
4. Bite and Grinding Habits
Bruxism (teeth grinding) can fracture crowns. A night guard may be advised for protection.
5. Crown Fit and Quality
Precision-fit crowns placed by an experienced dentist like Dr. Anshu have better longevity and fewer complications.
6. Lifestyle Choices
Avoiding hard foods, sticky candies, or habits like chewing ice or biting nails can significantly extend the life of your crown.
👩⚕️ Dr. Anshu Gupta’s Expert Tips to Make Crowns Last Longer
• ✅ Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
• ✅ Floss gently around the crown daily
• ✅ Visit your dentist every 6 months for checkups
• ✅ Avoid grinding and get a mouth guard if needed
• ✅ Don’t use your teeth to open packets or bottles
• ✅ Report any looseness, sensitivity, or chips early
“The key to long-lasting crowns is not just the material — it’s the dentist’s technique, your bite, and how you maintain it at home.”
