Planning on having dental crowns place on your teeth? Recent studies show that the younger the patient is, the longer the crown will last. They have studied more than 80,000 patients who have had dental procedures for the past 10 years and almost all of those were at least 18 year olds. They also found out that metal crowns are much sturdier than the ceramic crowns used by many and also, metal crowns last longer than the usual ceramic and metal crown combination. Those who had metal crowns needed only minimal repairs compared to the two other crown users who needed replacement badly.
