Do you mean : Can you have crowns done on your teeth while having periodontal problems? The answer is no, you should get your periodontal issues addressed with a periodontist or a skilled dentist first, and treated, then based on the prognoses your treating dentist should decide the need for those crowns..

Fix perio first: To be considered for crown restoration, the tooth must be with no untreated tooth decay or active periodontal (gum) disease. If crown is fitted in the presence of active periodontitis, there is a danger that an infection will develop further around the root, which will lead to tooth mobility and its failure and loss. Your dentist will make sure that your perio is good before the crown treatment.
