I have had my crown for over ten years and I have had no problems with it. I have a great dentist though who does amazing work. If you are going to invest in your crown make sure that you have confidence in your dentist. My crown is gold with a porcelain covering and they said it should last up to 25 years. Hope this makes you feel better.

i just had my second root canal done 3 days ago, it has a post in it, and it was built up a bit and a filling put in..i was told to get a cap on it..and i asked time frames, and he said i shouldn't wait more than a year...it takes time for the tooth to become brittle enough to break. your dentist will probably put a permanent filling in it also. it's really not that big of a deal..i have a cap on the tooth next too it, and the cap was the easy part, and it is very hard to tell that it isn't one of my other teeth. the caps are usually indefinite..I'm sure there may be a point in your life that it could break and crack, but most people don't have any problems.

Kelly - this treatment depends on the person who is given u treatment - but generally it last long - OK
when your going for crown - go for vitallium metal on the inner side and porcelain on the other side.
gold is very good - noble metal
above all porcelain is the best and inside the porcelain crown you will find a metal - ask for viatallium.
these are fixed to the prepared tooth using cements - fugiIX- GI cement - which u cant never get if off from the prepared tooth.
buddy it is the best treatment.

the process itself is pretty simple...majority of endo teeth need crowns...be sure to get an all-porcelain crown..they cost slightly more, but well worth it.. the shades match better and you won't see a ridge along your gumline after a couple of years... the root canal itself is the worst part ( and thats not even that bad).. the impressions for the crown suck, but still not bad.. no pain, just a long process...oh, and if you ever wanted to bleach, now is the time before the crown prep is done because the crown will never change color..just your teeth around them will

I see that you've already gotten some good answers. Bottom line: In most cases, crowns last 10-20 years. Most don't break. Most look great. Most are comfortable. It is an Art as much as a Science and there are variables two of which are- how good is your doctor and how good is your home-care? Hope this helps.

How long a post and core and crown lasts depends on many factors. How much tooth is actually left? How well do you clean your mouth? How good is your dentist? Are you a grinder or clencher?
I've seen posts with crowns on top of them serve for 30, 40 and 50 years. I've also seen some fail after just a couple of years. (Not MINE, of course. haha)
Like I said, it depends, so there is no pat answer.
