A member asked:
Help please? how long does a crown last after a root canal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
15 years or more: Crowns have an average life span of 15 years provided you continue to brush and floss around this tooth. However, if the root or tooth fractures, then the tooth would need to be extracted. This crown could also remain in your mouth for the rest of your life. There are a lot of variables in play here. Discuss this question with your dentist.

Average 5-10 years: There are multiple factors that determine how long a crown lasts. These factors include: the patient's oral health maintenance, diet, clenching or grinding, and how much of the original tooth was left to restore.
