However, dental crowns require preparation of the tooth, which could vary from almost none to significant loss of healthy tooth tissue. Also when preparing for bridge prostheses, healthy teeth on both sides of defect have to be prepared for covering with dental crowns, which also means that there will be some level of healthy tooth tissue loss.
