How will I know if my root canal has failed?

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your accident. “What dentistry procedures would you recommend to replace the tooth? Is implant the best option? ” I assume that the teeth in question are your 2 front teeth? The methods that you can consider to replace your front tooth would be: Dental Implant: Most stable and aesthetic if done well, highest longevity if well maintained. However it is costly and there is a need for surgery. (Dental implant costs are Medisave claimable for the surgical component) Bridge: Good aesthetics achievable.

Crowns may be removed in one piece but this is rarely the case unless the existing crown does not fit well or if there is significant decay in the tooth structure underneath the crown that has undermined the fit. Most of the time, the method used to remove crowns involves sectioning the crown and removing the segments separately. This minimizes the chances of the underlying tooth breaking. Non precious metal crowns are made of very hard metal alloys. These crowns can be removed with special metal-cutting burs but due to the nature of the metal alloy, sectioning can take some time to complete.
