had a bridge fail and needed to remove one of the teeth. have a temporary flipper in place. scheduled front tooth for extraction also, after deliberating. it is/was a good tooth (right next to front teeth). it was sheared off at gum line.
dentist said it could probably be built up and capped and have a root canal.
I don't know why it would need a root canal. I don't want a root canal, but my question is...is it possible to keep the tooth and just cap it off there at the gum line...not to used to chew, just to keep its place. a partial on that side would cover it
