Should I have the crowned molar tooth redone?

Should I have the crowned molar tooth redone?
 
It's been about 15 years since I got a crown on my molar.
In the meantime, the gum around the molar has receded, exposing part of the tooth beneath the crown.
I think I heard that crowns need to be redone roughly every ten years, but when I went for a cleaning last year, they didn't mention anything about it.
I asked if there was anything uncomfortable, and when they said no, I only did scaling.
I'm wondering if I should ask when I go for scaling this year, since they probably checked everything during the scaling and found nothing unusual, so maybe there's no need to ask, but I also think I might as well ask just in case.
 
It's understandable that re-crowning can feel burdensome.
Still, I think I should do it again if necessary.
In the past, I used gold alloy crowns.
These days, there are also zirconia crowns, which are tooth-colored crowns.
It is described as being highly intense and good. Has anyone tried it?
Has anyone else had a crown placed a long time ago, so their tooth is exposed, and had to get the crown redone?

    다시 씌울수도 있고 다른걸 할수도 있더라구요 ㅠㅠ
    두개 그랬는데 하나는 조금 더 꺠지면 임플란트 해야한다고 하더라구요. 여러군데 들러보셔요~

    말해뭐해
      치아가 드러났으면 치아가 깨질 수 있으니 빨리 크라운을 씌우는 것을 추천 드려요.

    크라운 밑으로 치아가 좀 드러나있다면 
    크라운을 제거하고 다시 해야하지않을까 싶어요 
    저는 아직 그런적은 없긴 하지만 
    따로 통증 없고 불편한거 없음에도 
    그 밑으로 충치나 다른 문제가 생길수있다고 합니다 
    정도가 많이 심하지않으시면 
    치과에 문의해보시고 결정하시는게 좋을듯 해요
