I would highly recommend thembeing separate, unless you have periodontal disease and loss of bone aroundthese teeth and they are loose. If the crowns are splinted together, theyare much more difficult to clean and maintain and flossing can be a real problem. The other factor is that if you have them all hooked together and you chip orbreak one of the crowns, the entire 6 crowns will have to be replaced. Keep them separate.
If your tooth are enough strong to put single crown the best and more comfortable to you is do it single.. but if you have a bridge now, or your teeth not are enough strong its better with a bridge.. the bridge give stability and do it more strong the teeth because are together.
If you have a strong bite, or you grind your teeth at night, or you have short roots, or you have recurrent gum problems, this is what can determine which type of reconstruction you might need, also the material, and if they would be individual or connected, making a bridge , it will be more stronger, but you will have more areas to clean in between.my recommendation would be for them to be individual. I hope this helps.

Mending or trying to repair all-ceramic caps/crowns/bridges is not an easy task. The line you feel may be a crack that is just beginning and eventually could extend all the way through the porcelain and can compromise the teeth that are anchoring the crowns. In its early stage, a dentist can...
Pain from your new crown is not normal. Perhaps there is still infection and the root canal should be evaluated. The x-ray as posted does not show the end of the roots and root canal. The other possibility is that the tooth is hitting too hard when you chew, and if that is all...
Sorry you are having difficulty with your new crown. The open contact will eventually lead to decay under the crown but that usually takes a while to happen. The more pressing immediate concern is the open contact. If you are packing food between the teeth the gum will be...
Crowns and veneers when cemented properly are attached to the underlying tooth very strongly. When taking impressions it might feel like a lot of force is being placed on your crowns/veneers. However, this force is very minimal and very unlikely to disturb the strong attachment between the...
