Answer 3

Oh Boy that will cost a small fortune, I would definately get a second opinion as there can be complications after.  You will require 24 crowns as well to cover those teeth as root canaled teeth are very weak and brittle and break easily.

I would look at extractions/implants or a few implants with a denture (so it will fit more securely) or if you are on a limited budget just get dentures.

Did your dentist tell you you would need crowns on top of those? Root canals will not cure you of decay, you will still need to maintain your teeth as though they are alive with regular flossing and brushing, if you are not prepared for that then I would recommend extractions. A root canal will cost about $600 per tooth depending on the amount of roots you have. A crown will cost you about 600+ depending on the material you want (gold or porcelain) Go for gold as it is cheaper and lasts longer......However the last thing you want is to spend thousands of dollars on root canals/crowns only to have them redecay. I wish you luck with whatever choice you make.
