Would it make more sense to have the tooth pulled and replaced with an Impant? Do you need a crown on the tooth that has the root canal? Then if thats the cases it looks like that is another $1199.00

Answer: Root canal Having the tooth pulled and an implant done would be more costly and doesn't seem to be needed unless the tooth is badly decayed and has a large filling or deep decay above the gumline. If the tooth has only a moderate size filling, a crown on #5 may not need to be done, depending on your bite and the other teeth you have. Without an xray and more information, it is hard to be definitive but crowns aftyer a root canal aren't always necessary except on molars. Your dentist can evaluate the tooth and let you know if it needs a crown or not.
