I have advanced periodontitis. I need to remove my 3 front teeth. Is a dental crown on 14 teeth on the upper palate with a dental bridge recommended to replace the extraction of my 3 front teeth? Thanks!

Has the periodontitis been addressed? Usually if the periodontal disease has been deemed stable by a specialist, crowns and bridges are not contra-indicated.

Thank you very much for your response. I do dental cleaning 4×/year in a periodontitis clinic. During those cleanings, the periodontist gives me local anesthesia to avoid pain. I think my periodontitis is not stable, but I dont have that information. One dentist told me I can have crowns and another one told that I can't. Here's a complete scan of my teeth if it can give you more information on my periodontitis. I need to extract 3 teeth on the front, because there is no more bone supporting them and that is why a dentist gave me the plan to make crowns and bridges. Thank you!

If the periodontal disease is not stable, I would not recommend any crown and bridge work. Rather consider a temporary partial denture, until the periodontal disease has been stabilized. You can ask your periodontist how far you are from that point.
