How this is calculated

Cost per year = upfront cost ÷ expected lifespan.
The cheaper upfront option is often dearer over time if it needs replacing sooner.

How long do implants, bridges and crowns last?

Implants commonly 20+ years, bridges 10–15, crowns 10–15, dentures 5–10. Your dentist can advise for your case.
