Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, caps are advisable, but single is best. Joined or bridged has a drawback. If any side of the joined cap is loose or any damage occurs, then the whole bridge is removed. In a single case, if one particular tooth or cap has any problem or any damage, then the single cap will be repaired and removed.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
