Yes, you can have an implant many years after an extraction provided: 1. you have enough bone in both the vertical and horizontal areas, 2 if any periodontal is present, will have to be corrected prior to placement, 3. smoking is a negative for implant placement. You should check with your dentist or specialist in regard to implant placement. Every case is different. Make sure your professional has placed many implants.

Of course! Root canal treatment is only completed on teeth that have caries-cavities- that have extended into the pulp chamber, or usually a fractured tooth, or even when an abscess happens from trauma. Most restorations are completed without performing root can treatment. Have your dentist show you photos of root canal treatment or even look Google or the American Dental Association's website.

Can a tooth with a root canal hurt years later?

Yes. Potential issues: 1) new crack in tooth from trauma. 2) old abscess. 3) periodontal problems. 4) broken restoration.
Hope this helps.
