Over the years I became more and more a fan of implants and less a fan of "heroic" root canal, build-up, and finally crown/bridge. When I say heroic, I mean trying to salvage a tooth that might last more than a few years but probably won't. Dentists are/should be trained to recognize this situation. It is a shame that your dentists can't come to a conclusion that benefits you the best, long-term.
I am glad you are happy with the two plants, Pam. I hope they grow and bloom for you well, as these two varieties have done for me.
