Root canal treatment. My tooth is pretty much held together will amalgam (ugh) which I would like removed ?

Question

carefully. (so I don't ingest/inhale it). Is it possible to save a tooth and have canal work done, or would they be able to put something there in its place? Thanks

Answer 1

they may be able to give you a crown now that you are having root canal, they can use the hole that the nerve came out of and put supporting posts in place for a crown , the crown you get may also be able to be tooth coloured[ but it may need to be gold as gold is stronger and more hard wearing]
