Hello. I have an upper molar #2 that I am having some pain in and am told today that I need a root canal. My sister had some implants done last year and she is very happy with them, and I have read a lot about them and I think they are a great option. I suggested to my dentist that, rather than have a root canal and crown, that I have the tooth extracted and then get an implant. Cost is really not a problem, though the root canal and crown are about 2000 US, and the implant is about 3500. One of my dentists at the practice seemed okay with this, the other one was strongly suggesting not to get the implant an keep the tooth via root canal. I am a little confused, because I don't understand what is so bad about an implant? I am 43, if that matters. Thank you for your imput.
