Root canal therapy (RCT) followed by a crown is the most common mode of treatment for severely decayed teeth. However, this is not devoid of failure. In another case, if a tooth could not be salvaged by RCT, then extraction followed by a bridge (replacing the removed tooth with support from adjacent healthy teeth) became the next best option.

Usually, people ask why we need a crown after root canal treatment. As we removed the decayed part of tooth during the treatment, remaining tooth structure is not sufficient to bear the masticatory load and it might fracture. Moreover, root canal treated tooth don't have blood supply which makes tooth brittle hence prone to fracture. What is the use of root canal treatment when eventually you will end up breaking your tooth.
Crowns are mandatory after root canal treatment.

Hello, ya missing tooth can be either replaced by an implant or a fixed bridge. For a bridge to be possible the missing tooth space should have at least one tooth on both the sides so that with the support of adjacent teeth a bridge can be made and cemented. So if your missing tooth fulfil this criterion you can opt for this. And it can be easily done in the time mentioned by you.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Unfortunately when the last three teeth are gone from your mouth, implant is the only possibility to get fixed teeth done. There is another option that is slightly less expensive than implants, using precision attachments to partially fix your removable denture to your adjacent teeth after putting crowns on them.getting removable dentures is an option too, as you have mentioned. But fixed replacements show better patient acceptance in most cases

Dental implants are generally identified as substitutes for tooth roots. Besides replacing damaged or decayed teeth, implants also provide a strong foundation for both permanent as well as removable replacement teeth.
Advantages
There are loads of advantages to implants. These include:
1. Better overall appearance of teeth since they are made to fuse with the bone.
2. Unlike removable dentures, implants are much more comforting as well as convenient

There is a bridge in which neighbouring teeth are trimmed and a bridge is fixed. There is a something called as an implant which is a surgery in which bone is drilled to place the implant. And you have a crown over it. After three months. There is a removable partial denture to replace missing teeth inside the mouth.

Ever wondered how good it would be if a tooth lost can be placed back in place? That is just what the dental implant does. Unlike the dentures, which replace only the crown portion of the tooth, the implant replaces the crown and the root portion of the tooth.
