I have 4 teeth that are heavily filled

Q. Hi, I have a question. I have 4 teeth that are heavily filled also on 2 of them I dont have that much tooth left. My nhs dentist has told me that they cannot fit crowns on the 2 teeth because there is not that much tooth left. Now, I dont really want to go for Implants now, because they are basically surviving on a large filling. Can i request crowns or should my dentist advise me what I should do. I basically feel like she is leaving it too late and leaving it till i dont have much tooth left and then saying i cannot put crowns on there. I am only 28 and only eat on one side of my mouth, so this is the reason why most of my teeth are filled on one side.. My question is can I request crowns or should she advise me. ..Pls can you get back to me. Thanks

A. Your dentist probably has his / her reasons for not wanting to place crowns on these teeth I would recommend you talk to him/ her and discuss alternative options.  If you are still unhappy you can always go to get a second opinion.  If the teeth are not very strong they may not be suitable for crowns.
