A dental crown could last up to 15 years, according the information provided by the manufacturers. You should remember that the lifespan of a dental crown is principally determined by your eating and other habits which pertain to the mouth. When you have a crown you should avoid habits like :

• biting your nails
• crunching ice cubes, nuts etc,
• grinding or clenching your teeth

All these shorten the lifespan of a dental crown. And don't forget that if you have a dental crown, you should still brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss once a day.
