Does crown lengtheing for an onlay prevent implants for the same teeth in future(5-10 years down) if teeth goes bad?

Probably not: I would be more concerned about periodontal bone loss. Your crown lengthening should not result in too much bone removal.

Probably No: If you needed implants in the future, you probably would be able to complete the procedure in the future without a problem.
