Ceramic crowns can last for as long as 5-10 years or even for the lifetime without any complications if you follow some precautions..Avoid biting any hard food from the front crowns alongwith maintaining proper oral hygiene particularly in that area..Do visit dentist after every 2-3 months for complete examination..No need of replacement if prevention is taken care of.

Ceramic crowns can last long enough if you have strong base that is the tooth beneath are in good condition. Longevity of crown can be done by taking some precautions like not to bite from front crowns cleaning and rinsing daily. Visit to ur dentist

Hi.. see a longivety of a crown depends on many things.... all u need to do is follow a proper oral hygiene, avoid excessive force on that crown, as in, breaking hard stuff with that tooth..and have a regular checkup done....say once a year.....this will help you maintain the crown as long as possible...and stay assured the crown is not affected so easily as long as your inner tooth is fine and you follow the above things..
