It all depends on how well you take care of your new crown. When they are taken care of correctly, they can last 15 or more years before needing replacing. Proper care includes brushing twice a day and cleaning between your teeth and the crown daily with floss, which is especially important when you have crowns. Keeping your teeth clean and healthy means your gums are healthy too.
Unhealthy gums recede, which will cause a gap between your crown and your gums where bacteria can create problems. This would cause a cavity underneath your permanent crown.
