Should get extraction and implant or root canal with build-up, posts, and zirconium crown on tooth #19 ?

Asked By:jim359 in Pennsylvania, PA

I’m currently at a crossroads, I have a Large Composite Filling in Tooth #19 and it’s been there for 7 or 8 years. I will in the very near future need to make this Decision, so I wanted to hear everybody’s opinions? The tooth is basically hollowed out with the current filling, so posts and build up are necessary, plus it’s a high impact chewing force tooth, so with the lack of remaining tooth structure after a crown is placed would it inevitably fail in a few years? Should I just get Implant?
