An important part of total oral health is having necessary crowns and bridges and other restorative dentistry completed after periodontal health is achieved. A foundation of good periodontal health is the beginning, but good restorative dentistry around the gingival margins and good occlusion is very important. Your teeth will hold up better, feel better and definitely look better! Delays can result in a recurrence of periodontal diseases, tooth fractures and more complicated restorative needs.
