So, I went back to the dentist this morning.
This time I met with my own semi-retired endodontist/dentist/dental surgeon.
He thinks he can still save the tooth, put posts in, build it back up, and re-crown it.
I go back on 11/10 (a weird day for me) and he'll start the work. He's 80% sure it will work, but won't know until he actually "gets in there". If it's a no-go, he'll proceed with the surgical extraction; the first step in the implant process anyway.
And oh yeah, today's x-rays revealed that I would need a bone graft for the implant, but I'm stalling the Google/YouTube thing 'cause I really want the crown-thingie to work. Fingers crossed.
Bone graft = ouch.
