Placement of a crown or bridge requires reduction in teeth structure or reducing some amount of overall thickness of your teeth, depending upon the type of crown or bridge. A normal tooth consists of three layers; enamel, dentin and pulp. Enamel is the outermost layer and the pulp is the innermost layer that has the blood and nerve supply to the teeth. Now the in between dentin layer has nerve endings that directly connects to the innermost pulp tissue. Reduction of the tooth structure usually involves the dentin layer too. RCT of your bridged teeth has been done to make the tooth preparation process painless because of irritation of nerve endings in the dentin layer or from preventing from accidental pulp exposure. It also protects those teeth from immediate hypersensitivity and related symptoms in the longer run. As the nerve supply has been cut off, you won't feel any kind of sensation, pain or discomfort associated with those teeth. Also another reason for doing RCT of supporting teeth includes if the supporting teeth have any previous hypersensitivity issues or have cavities involving the pulp layer associated with insufficient amount of tooth structure for bridge retention. The life span of your RCT supported teeth remains good like other healthy teeth if all the procedures have been done correctly, but that again depends on any associated gum infection and subsequent bone loss associated with those teeth which will certainly affect the life span. So, try to keep those areas clean and maintain a good oral hygiene regime.

it is recommended to prevent sensitivity or pain in future in affected tooth or teeth. 
life span depends on how you handle your oral cavity. people are happy with same old crown and bridge even after 20 years also but some patients required retreatment in 5 or 10 years.
