Well, apparently there is a warranty on crowns done by reputable  
dentists. I had a crown come off this last summer. I went to my  
dentist in Ozark County to have it glued back on. He looked at it and  
said the back had slightly broken. He put on a temporary crown and  
said keep that broken one and take it back with you when you return to  
Phoenix, there is a several-year warranty on crowns. I don't recall if  
he said four or five years.

To verify, I e-mailed the dentist here and he confirmed there would be  
no charge. After I returned here he did a new impression and ordered a  
new crown made by the lab. He then installed it. No charge.

I have also had crowns just come off, not broken. They are reinstalled  
with no charge.
