Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

It is very good to know that you have a good treatment in relation to the upper teeth.

Coming to the expectancy , there is no known limit as to how much a treated tooth lasts. It depends on a range of factors including how successful the treatment was done, oral health status and oral hygiene conditions and also the general health of a person.

So it is good you don't worry about your tooth as long as there is no problem in it. If in future if there is any pain or swelling, you can go ahead with re treatment and it will be decided only at that time as to what will be the most appropriate one.

Hope this was useful to you .

Thanks and regards
