      Erring on the side of root canal/crown, as I don't want a gap there if the tooth is removed, but the mere thought of this treatment is making me wince.

      And the cost of this prospective pain? A snip at £750.

      Really not sure what to do.

      Who's had this done and how did things work out?
      I had one done by an NHS practise - I think it cost £200 all in. Definitely the crown is the way to go. However, in my case the tooth under the first crown became very brittle and broke entirely off leaving just a stump. So I now have a second crown mounted on the stump. That should last for around 10years when I'll have to get it replaced. But its far better than a bridge.
