Root canal tooth is broken to the gum line. I had a crown and broke with the part of my tooth. Any suggestions?

I would extract this tooth and have a dental implant placed.  This will be a much better long term solution than trying to save it .  

Hello there,I'm sorry to hear that your tooth fractured. If enough tooth structure remains, a post and new crown would be recommended. However, usually a tooth broken at the gum line do not have a good prognosis.  If this is the case, removing your tooth and replacing it with an implant or bridge would be the best solution. I would recommend seeing your dentist as soon as possible for a complete evaluation. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Without seeing your tooth and a film it is hard to say if the tooth is non-restorable.  If it is there are really two options: 1) Dental fixed bridge2) Dental ImplantIf your adjacent teeth are healthy, a dental implant is often the option of choice as you will not need to do anything to these teeth.  Make sure you see a dentist with special interests in cosmetics and implant dentistry as there is a degree of skill and art with this type of care.

Hey there! if the tooth is shattered and its at the gum line, you really have one option- extract the root and the whole thing out. After that you have essentially four options:1) Do nothing (of course you'll have a gap there - which is not recommended)2) replace with a removable prosthesis- a flipper or removable partial denture3) fixed prosthesis- or bridge- depends on the health of the surrounding teeth4) implant- can replace the entire tooth- depends on how much bone you have in the area. Hope that helps!Dr.Vilas Sastry

Without X-rays it's impossible to diagnose accurately.  However, it there is enough tooth remaining it may be restored with a post and crown.  Prognosis long term for a tooth broken at the gum level is poor.  Your time and money maybe better used having the tooth extracted and restored with an implant or bridge.
