My root canal re-infected. The tooth was also crowned afterwards. My dentist gave me 4 options.

#1: Shave the two adjacent tooth and implant a bridge. Cost is roughly $2600.

#2: Implant a screw and crown it. Cost is roughly $3200.

#3: Apicoectomy. A surgery through the gum to remove the infected tissue. Cost is roughly $1000 give or take.

#4: Extract the tooth.

What would you guys do?
