Which hurts more, a failed root canal or dental implant?!
Question:
Which hurts more, a failed root canal or dental implant?
Are they the same worse. I know you can also have a failed dental implant, which is worse?
Answers:
Depending on the severity of the failed root canal, sometimes they can be re-treated with high success, otherwise the tooth needs to be extracted and ideally a permanent bridge placed. Another option would be an implant, but you have to be a candidate for one... not everyone is.
Implants can fail as well since the body may reject it...
As far as pain, my vote is for the failed root canal as being the worst; I've had both and the implant was a breeze comparatively.
