Posting an update.

Well I went to the oral surgeon to ask about #11. I did a cone beam ct scan of that tooth and it looks like the infection is 3x bigger on the front area and is quite large.

The oral surgeon insisted that I should try getting the root canal done again and get an Apicoectomy. He said there is plenty of tooth structure and healthy bone and that I can save the tooth.

So I'm ultra confused now, who to listen too. I still feel like I should extract and get rid of the chronic infection and then get an implant, but all the dentists tell me to do after all other options are exhausted.

Would an Apicoectomy compromise a future implant if it fails?
