I need a lower partial. I have 5 bottom front teeth, all are crowned

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to answer this is with an in-person evaluation, but with proper oral hygiene and check-ups, it should be able to maintain the health of your current crowns. One option would be dental implants. There are many benefits to dental implants in that they function exactly like a natural tooth. Or you'll need to assess the health of the remaining teeth both from a restorative aspect and periodontal aspect, to make sure teeth are strong enough and have good bone support to support a bridge. If not, implants are an option. I recommend getting a second opinion with a prosthodontist to make the most informed decision. A prosthodontist has advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and can create a customized treatment plan using the latest techniques in dental restoration.

Sorry, but we don't have much information concerning your situation. If you make regular dental visits for cleanings and exams, with good home care of flossing and brushing, you should be able to extend the life of your crowned teeth. Having a partial for your remaining teeth will also help with your chewing. I assume you have an upper denture? If you haven't seen a dentist within the past year then having an exam and cleaning is your first step!
