Get a post/implant put in. Lasts way longer (for your lifetime if you're careful with it), and if part of it does get damaged, chances are it can be repaired.

- hutzlibu 3y agoWell, I had only root canal treatments and luckily with no jaw or heart infections yet, but I have heard of serious issues from people who got implants. The skill of the dentist matters a lot I think.
- verelo 3y agoHow old are your root canals? The issue is the tooth is an organic component and it doesn’t last forever when it’s no longer supplied with blood. Once it becomes brittle, and cracks, the only solution is to remove it.
- hutzlibu 3y agoYes, they likely will not hold till I am old, but till then they are working and it was less invasive, than an implant. So one day I likely will have implants, or if I am lucky, I might skip that and just regrow a tooth, if this tech will advance. In any case, the tech will be better in the future (unless worse stuff happens).
- verelo 3y agoYeah that sounds about right. I just wish i went right to the implant personally. The risks associated with it breaking, combined with the cost of essentially doing it twice...it all feels so pointless now.
