I have gold crowns that have lasted 30+ years. I wore holes through a
couple of those because I clench and grind my teeth. I have been using a
night guard for the last 20 years which has probably prevented my chewing
through them sooner. My mother had gold crowns that lasted 50 years. Gold
is worth the initial cost if you have a good dentist.
