“How long will a zirconia crown last?”
I am a 32 year old female and I will get a zirconia crown. How long will a zirconia crown last?
6 Answers
Average crowns last 5 to 10 years or longer
As long as your other teeth, if you keep it at least as clean as them.
Thanks for asking. A zirconia crown (depending upon the type of zirconia) is extremely strong. It could last for decades. The major concern is the tooth under the crown. If you brush and floss, watch your diet (avoid excess sugars/carbohydrates) and see your dental hygienist on a regular basis, your tooth could last a lifetime. It's not how long the crown will last, but whether you will do what it takes to keep your tooth under the crown healthy.
Hope this helps.

This is a great question and a common one for all dental materials. Zironia is a very strong porcelain material and should last a very long time. With that said, it is placed on a tooth that is still susceptible to decay and periodontal disease. So if the zirconia crown needs to be replaced, it isn't because the material failed, it is because the tooth underneath has a problem.

Zirconia crowns are guaranteed by most labs to last 7 years. If they are done correctly, they can last two or three times longer as long as the patient takes good care of his dental health and does not abuse it.
It’s possible for it to last 20+ years, but, just like anything, it all depends on how well you take care of it.
