Advice on Suggested Dental Crown Replacement with Implant?

BruceDixon
In 2005 I had a crown fitted to a root canal treated front tooth but recently the crown became loose. At a dental exam I was advised not to have another crown but instead an implant fitted as the tooth remaining underneath is unlikely to support a crown for long. Is it common that a crowned tooth become smaller to such an extent that eventually a crown is not possible?
