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.

two fridays ago my old crown broke off (had it done back in 1999) and took a good chunk of my front tooth with it. i guess inside was decaying a bit but my root (upper half) was fine so i didnt need another root canal. it looked horrible like a roughed up horseshoe close to my gumline with dark metal stains but doc smoothed it out and gave me a filling. putting the old crown ($80) back or getting a new crown ($800) wasnt an option and a waste of money bc there was nothing to hold on to and itll just fall off within a year he told me. he recommended me to pull the rest of that tooth out and get an implant but its $4500..no way lol. i decided to get a denture ($310) and i have another appointment this thursday to pick it up and get it adjusted. but i kinda regret paying for it bc i dont think i need it anymore. im use to it now with looks and feel, and have no trouble eating. i thought of pulling it out too but i was told that my neighboring teeth will eventually move towards that vacant space and get crooked teeth so im just gonna leave it as it is.
