Depending on the material used, tooth repaired, and your oral hygiene routine, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coccosmile.com\/dental-crowns.html\">dental crown<\/a> can last five to ten years before it needs to be repaired or replaced. Many patients want their smile to look great after repair with dental crowns, but they\u2019ve heard that porcelain crowns that look the most natural are the least durable.
