Crowns Ask The Dentist Daniel Marinic Question:
Replace Crown with Implant?: Two days after the crown was installed on a tooth that had a root canal the tooth became extremely painful.

I returned to the dentist and they adjusted my bite. The tooth felt much better for one day but the pain has returned and is increasing in intensity.

The jaw is painful and the tooth very sensitive. Pain radiates into my ear. My question is if the dentist finds nothing wrong such as no abscess would it be recommended to remove the tooth and have a dental implant? ...Visitor from DC

Answer:
Implants are a wonderful option, natural teeth are better.

Before you consider having the tooth extracted the source of the pain must be determined. There are two main possibilities. The first involves an ill fitting crown. This is easy to diagnose. The second is a root fracture on the recently treated tooth. This is a bit more challenging.
