Pls assist to view my dental xray to verify advice from my dentist

[Jameschia26]

Hi i have went to see a dentist recently due to some pain and according to her, my lower left jaw 3rd tooth from the last is beyond repair and need to be extracted with a dental implant and crown.

As its quite a costly procedure i would like to verify if any dentists here have the same opinion.

Have attached my xray scans here.

Hello Jameschia26...
As per the x-ray image shown here, the lower left first molar need not be necessarily removed. You can preserve the teeth by doing a root canal treatment and a crown. Sometimes,you may need a post and core restoration prior to crowning.

Keep smiling.
