Q.
How succesfull is root canal treatment on front crowns, which were placed originally well over twenty plus years ago, with metal posts and no previous root treatment. I have been having problems and need to have I believe posts removed before treatment. I have had one of my front crowns recently out due to absess and constant pain, and replaced with a dental implant. I am left with the other three front sensitive crowns now., do I treat roots with expensive specialist endodontics work which I am not sure of success or remove crowns… and have another implant placed and bridge work attaching, already in place dental implant. please advise on cost of both treatments approx…. Kind Regards
