[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, while thinking about it is weird af, the actual procedure isn't that bad. What *is* bad is that the crowns only last about 10 years before needing replacements, and there's only so much you can do at some point. Depending on which teeth you're talking about, you may want to look into simply having them extracted, or just bite the bullet (no pun intended) and pay for implants. You're young enough that you're likely to outlive the crowns, which will mean implants anyway. I have one upper back molar that's just gone now (extracted, after a root canal/crown a decade and a half ago). The extraction wasn't bad at all; I did it under local, but you can get fully knocked-out if you're squeamish. The pain was manageable with tylenol only and the healing was easy. [/quote]
