    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Dr. Bashi discusses zirconia as a durable material used for dental crowns. Material choice is one part of planning a restoration that suits the tooth and bite.

    No crown has a guaranteed lifespan. The health of the tooth beneath it, daily cleaning, grinding, and other biting forces all affect how long it remains functional.

    Regular dental checks help monitor the margins, bite, and supporting tooth. Contact the office if a crown feels loose, painful, or different when you bite.
