Why can I not get my crowns done first?+
Definitive restorations are more predictable once gum disease is controlled. Placing them on unhealthy foundations could compromise them, which is why the gums usually receive attention earlier.
Can teeth with gum problems still be saved?+
Some may be and others may not, and this is decided tooth by tooth after an evaluation. The response to early gum care can also clarify things as treatment goes on.
Is it possible to have implants if I have had gum disease?+
A past history does not settle this by itself. The health of your gums and bone would be assessed, and disease control would come first. Ask the dentist whether implants could be considered for you.
Will my plan change after gum treatment?+
It may. Plans are expected to evolve as teeth, gums and bite respond to earlier phases, and you will be able to go over any changes as they arise.
What will I have to do at home?+
Good daily cleaning is a large part of keeping results stable. Expect to be shown home tools suited to your teeth and restorations, along with ongoing hygiene and review visits.
