Dear Dr Hughes,

I really need an advise and hopefully you would be willing to help.
I have a crown placed 16 years ago and now it has to be replaced. I went for a consultation and my dentist told me that before replacing the crown, he has to do the root canal treatment because what I have is not long enough, :-/ Is this a common process of replacing a crown?? I find his reason not convincing enough, please give me an advise what to do best, because I really need to replace my old crown the soonest, it’s starting to break little bit.
thanks.

Best regards,
