Why do different dentists disagree on whether I should have a root canal treatment or an extraction and dental implant?

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.

Let’s draw an analogy between teeth and houses. As everyone knows, when you want to renovate a big house, like a bungalow, you will require a lot more effort and material as compared to an apartment. As a result, one can guess that it would also cost more to renovate the bungalow. With that said, it is also more time consuming and labour intensive to treat a more complex tooth. For example, molar as it can have twice, thrice, 4 times or even 5 times as many root canals as a premolar or front tooth. Hence, the fees will also be higher.
