Can you stick a false tooth to a crown?

i have a baby tooth being removed and a crown being put on the tooth next to the one being removed can a false tooth be stuck to the crown with out it being joined to the tooth on the other side

Can you stick a false tooth to a crown?
I'm going to guess you're talking about a bridge instead of putting a crown on the one tooth?


I'd say no to that. You have a reason the baby tooth is being pulled but why would you saw down adjoining teeth to make room for a bridge if you can just put a crown on one tooth?


I have crowns on the front. My teeth were knocked out running around as a child. Crowns are easy to care for. And you can get them in white, they don't have to be those nasty silver things they put on a babytooth.


You don't say your age or which tooth is being crowned. So I hope I was some help!.
Reply:that is a possibility, to have the crown with another tooth attach to it, its called Maryland bridge, the attach tooth is only for esthetical purposes, because since it does not have support to handle bitting forces.
Reply:yes...


Maryland bridge, gets my vote tooo
