Its been a month since my root canal. I had another appointment yesterday for the rest of the work. They removed the temporary filling, xrayed it to make sure its all good, then did the permanent filling, then shaved/shaped the tooth for the crown, then imprinted my teeth/jaw line with a mold, then put on my temporary crown. Took them an hour. My new permanent crown will be ready in 2 weeks and then I'll finally be done. This root canal situation has been quite the experience. $1200 total after insurance. I have another tooth that might need one if it gets another cavity. If that happens I think I'll have that one pulled instead since its in the far back. Screw all this. x_x

Amen, next tooth of mine that needs a root canal is getting pulled and I really don't care where it is (I think I can pull the hillbilly look off, I already have the scruffy beard). They're to expensive (after all was said and done I paid roughly the same as you) and time consuming (especially considering all the follow-up shit until you actually get the permanent one). Definitely not worth it for a fake tooth no one sees anyways (well except your dentist).

I got my permanent crown in a couple days ago. Honestly, I'm very pleased with the end results. The new crown fills in the big gap that was between the temp crown and the other back tooth where I had to have the crown lengthening done. The new tooth feels great and I was able to eat normally on that side of my mouth for the first time in two months.
