It all depends on how you maintain it. A well maintained filling/ RCT can even stay lifelong if done properly and maintained by you with regular checkups every six months

Fillings need to be periodically checked for marginal leakage etc. they may require replacement after a few years if your dentist finds anything. Root canal teeth should be capped. Crowns can be changed after a few years if there is gum recession etc.
