and whats a root canal with crown ?
Answers:
Im in the Process of getting one done now and it will cost with crown around $1,500 but mine is a molar and it costs more and its in MN, as for time its about an hour and a half from what my dentist said, my insurance covers 80% of it but only 50% of the crown. As for your tooth falling out it shouldnt, the nerves are not holding it in, the nerves help the tooth grow once it stops growing they are no longer needed, the only purpose they then serve is a hot and cold signal without the nerv you wont get that. As for pain i hear it hurts so far i have had all the pulp taken out of my tooth and at the end of the month they will take the rest of the nervs, I will tell you this though im in 125% less pain now then i was with the pulp dying inside my tooth. If you need a root canal get it done the other option is pulling the tooth.
