You can have your x-rays sent to new dentist which will save some cash, and you can be upfront telling dentists you are there for a second opinion. If ya really wanna save a tooth there is really no end to what can be done. A Root Canal and then a crown. Having an extraction and same day implant. I was told by my dentist that if you loose many lower teeth your jaw bone will naturally errode, naturally get less bone in your jaw bone. So was encouraged to have at least two lower implants, the screw that goes into the jaw bone helps retain more bone. and you have an excellent anchor for a bridge, with an implant.
