Implant vs. retreat Root canal?

It seems that root canal i had done 3 weeks ago has not healed completely because i have still tenderness under the gum of the tooth and a small abscess there. My dentist says to wait another week or so because it *may* heal up. So assuming I need a retreat, it would cost about 1000$.


The thing is, am planning to be in India for expended time starting in about 8 weeks time. I was planning to have the crown extension that is need and new crown work done in a very good dental clinic in New Delhi.


So I'm think just get the tooth pulled, and go for an implant in Delhi, that will cost 900 + 300 for the crown rather than take a chance with an expensive retreat. I could wait 8 weeks and get the retreat done then (they offer laser root canal) but i have some discomfort that i wish would go away.


What should i do in this situation?

Go with the implant and it's more likely you'll never have problems with that tooth again.
