The back on my 7th upper tooth broke.It had a root canal years ago. The front of the tooth front was fine.
The dentist suggested a crown. He prepared the tooth for a crown...cutting off most of the front leaving just a stub. Suddenly he stopped and said there wasn't enough good tooth at the back to take a crown, so he did a filling. Once home and numbness wore off I was shocked to see what I was left with! Just a peg. Is there anything I can have done. Couldn't afford an implant. Thank you

I've had several teeth built up like this after root treatment. Sadly they didn't last long and eventually I've had to have them out.

Root canal is always risky
