Crowns Last?

By Material
Porcelain-fused-to-metal: 10-15 years. All-ceramic/zirconia: 15-20+ years. Gold: 20-30+ years. At Station House Dental Care, crowns start from £571.
How to Maximise Lifespan
Avoid biting hard objects, wear a night guard if you grind, attend regular check-ups and maintain good oral hygiene.
