Root canal or partial denture?

I am not sure what to do: to have the root canal done+a crown over it on a premolar lower side , then have a partial denture for one neighbor molar and another two molars from the other side or since I am going to have a partial denture in the area, should I pull out the tooth , this way I save money . The dentist will not tell you that because he wants to make money! I heard that after you have a root canal done the tooth is dead and you will need to pull it out anyway , so is it a good idea to do it now or should I save it (with about $700-that's the cost for the root canal+crown)

Root canal or partial denture?
Its usually best to have your original tooth (dead or alive) instead of an artificial tooth. Root canals can last a long time if they are done well. Yes, the tooth is considered dead, but that doesn't mean it needs to be pulled.
Reply:Definitely save the tooth. The dentist isn't thinking about money because there is always the next customer.The more teeth you have as anchors the more stable your denture will be. After a root canal the nerve is dead (in fact gone) but the tooth remains as useful as before. I have several teeth which were done decades ago and I don't even remember which is which--they don't fall out and they don't decay. Seven hundred dollars is seven hundred dollars, but dentures that move around will make you miserable for the rest of your life. Pay it get it over with. There's something beneficial about investing in your own health.
Reply:if you're getting a root canal and a crown for $700.00 you better laugh your way to a bank! our root canals are $650. and a crown is $650.most dentists are in the business of saving teeth not pulling them. you are correct in that the tooth is dead (no longer has a nerve in it) but it still serves a vital role in that it keeps the opposing tooth(the one above it) from dropping down from lack of occlusion,keeps the rest of the teeth from shifting into the space created by extracting it,lets you chew on teeth that are meant for chewing/grinding food
Reply:Have the root canal. Any tooth that you save in this way adds stability to your bite, etc. The tooth won't have to be pulled out later. I have four teeth that have had root canals plus crowns, been that way for 20 years, and are still okay. The crowns have stayed on and they are just like natural teeth. With the root canal, the dentist replaces the root with a tiny metal rod. It really doesn't hurt. They numb it good first. Hold on to your teeth any way you can.
Reply:You always loose a lot more when you pull your teeth.Save them as long as you can.Nothing ever will look,feel and work as good as your own teeth.As a registered dental assistant for 11 years i have seen enough cases to tell you this.Ask the dentist about your bone level.If you have enough bone supporting your teeth ,keep them and take good care of them.The partial dentures put a lot of pressure on your bone(jaw bone)and over the years it wears off.After 5 years,there will be very little bone left and your dentures will be very loose no matter how good they are made.I am sure you have seen peoples dentures come off or fall down or get loose while they are talking.Keep your teeth.
