Should I have an apicoectomy or implant?

November 16, 2015
Asked By:vhunko in Brooklyn, NY

One of my 2 front teeth has had root canal many years ago. The tooth is now gradually lengthening and I was told if I did not have a apicoectomy I would eventually lose the tooth. My alternate option is an extraction and implant.
