Patients looking for dental crowns and bridges in Laxmi Nagar or Goregaon West can discuss the condition of the remaining teeth, gum health, bite and suitable alternatives with Dr. Spencer McGhee. Not every damaged tooth needs a crown, and the treatment plan depends on the examination.

When a tooth is missing, options may include a bridge, dental implant or removable denture. The choice depends on clinical findings, personal preferences, the condition of neighbouring teeth and the long-term maintenance each option requires.
