it depends on the structure of tooth left after rct, so better get it done as earlier as possible so that maximum tooth structure can be saved. usually when 3 to 4 walls are intact, prognosis is better, and we can avoid crown. also in front teeth we can avoid crowns.
so the doctor will evaluate clinically and make the right decision

Q. Will dental implants be painful? What post-treatment care to be taken?
Asked anonymously on 31st Jan, 22

The Implant itself is not painful since it is performed with either general or local anesthesia to completely numb the mouth. After dental implantation, once the numbness wears off, mild pain may be present . Patients may expect some swelling but the antibiotics and painkillers decrease the swelling and pain after the procedure.
For post treatment care Strictly follow post-operative instructions recommended by your dentist after the procedure.

Gingivitis can be treated with professional Subgingival dental cleaning. Your initial professional cleaning will include removing all traces of plaque, tartar and bacterial products – a procedure known as scaling and root planing. Subgingival scaling removes plaques, tartar and bacteria from your tooth surfaces and beneath your gums.
It can be cured with regular dental check-ups and by maintaining good oral hygiene.
