Would a dental implant be suitable for a tooth which has undergone several failed root canals?

Q.
Upper molar had 3 root canals in past few years but now it has been decided that tooth needs removal. The teeth on either side of the tooth in question have no problems with them so would you recommend an implant for this? Then a crown to go with it? Any ideas on the cost I can expect?,

My dentist has recommended I have my painful tooth removed but I don’t want to. Is there any other option?

November 18th, 2010
Q.
In 1998 I had a root canal procedure on my bottom right back molar.A crown was fitted. 3 years ago I experienced pain underneath this crown and my dentist prescribed antibiotics. 2 more \’pain episodes\’ followed, approx once a year the last one 2 weeks ago.My dentist is of the opinion that the root canal has failed and that to avoid these infections extraction should be considered. I am reluctant but do not wish to possibly keep on taking antibiotics. Any thoughts. I have had the tooth x-rayed now and am due for extraction on 14 December.,

Can I get an implant to replace tooth that had to be removed?

March 11th, 2010
Q.
When I was younger I had a root canal that went wrong and my front tooth has to be removed. The dentist did his best to save it but said it was too far gone and that tooth needed to be removed. I am now with a fake tooth that looks and feels horrible and makes me looks stupid. What can I do? Can I get implants?,
