I do the restorative part. Don't do the surgical part. Usually refer that to either periodontist or oral surgeon.

Root canal and crown is gonna cost you 1800-2200 id guess, where an implant could be in the 3-3500 region.

I always recommend keeping our teeth if we can. If you do a Root canal and crown and it fails, you can go to implant placement. If an implant fails, things get a little more complex.

It may have changed but last time I checked, insurance wouldn't pay for an implant but would for a root canal and crown, which I thought was odd if the prices were close, which is why I asked. I have a crown that has been a pain and has been replaced once already and it just seems easier to just yank it and get an implant instead (I didn't get a root canal with it though).
