Never thought that JR was pretty.
But also think that Brooke Shields is butt ugly.

Guess it's a matter of taste, and some say I have none. <hehe>

SB is correct, without a final restoration of either a crown or onlay
(covering the cusps) most RCT teeth are ultimately doomed to failure.
Most consider one month to six weeks the maximum time that should
elapse between RCT and final restoration.

My advice to you is to find out the total cost of RCT +plus+ crown
then relate that to your budget.

If you ask me £500 is a bit pricey for just a molar RCT.
Don't know if there are endodontists in your area, but
it may be wise to consult one if possible.

£1 ~= $2

Considering your urban location that doesn't suprise me.
