Dental implant or a restoration crown?

[Matt Kevin]

Have you ever had a dental implant? How is it like?

Today I was told by my dentist that I have a tooth which better should be extracted but it can also go extracoronal restoration (as far as I understand). So I'm left to choose cause the funny thing is- my doc didn't tell me if it's possible to fit the crown over it if it's going restoration. because the problem is- there is not enough remaining solid tooth.

Dental implant seems awesome but as they have to drill it in the jawbone there can be various complications as well. This way is usually not supported but what should I do if don't have much of my tooth anymore?

So the question is- is it possible to successfully restore the tooth and have a porcelain cap (crown) on it, or is it alas and I should have an implant?

these problems suck aye

Thanks
haha I know it's puzzling cause I'm puzzled myself. that's usual when I'm outta dentists room. Well, the dentist told that she could restore the tooth but she can't promise it a long lifespan cause it can just brake. but having a crown it shouldn't be an issue, right?? also, yes, I'm having a root canal.
and it's lower 1st molar

Implant is the better choice! If you decide to restore the tooth that is structurally unsound, you are looking at max 5-10 years for the life of the tooth. The money you spend on restoring this tooth can equal that of an implant (15 plus years restoration). The tooth can decay, requre root canal. possible new crown in the span of time. in addition, once the tooth is lost possible bridge. If the adjacent teeth are sound, I would definately recommend implant. Implant does not decay and maintenance is min.
I don't know where this tooth is located in your mouth. If you can let me know, I can probably give you better info,

I am a surgical assistant for a periodontist that specializes in dental implant. There is also a website that you can go to for further info. They are the founding fathers of implants
Their website is www.nobelbiocare.com

Good luck! Hope this info helps

My man had the crown, they never got it perfectly even and that tooth is sensitive to cold. I think the crown is worth it because it's your own tooth under there and it still has a bit of feeling in it.
