Hi, according to X-rays you have shown here, RCT is possible in these teeth followed by crowns. No need to remove teeth and put implants. But we need to see it clinically also so if you can share a oral pic that would be helpful to diagnose. If this is an old X-rays then better to take new one and share. Feel free to ask any further queries.

Hi,
It's really unfortunate that you have such deep cavities in your molars.
If the Xray that you have presented here, is the latest Xray, then, I would say that RCT, followed by Post & Core, followed by Crowns, is possible.
But, if the Xray is 5 months old, I would suggest you get a fresh Xray done and get it evaluated.
Hope this answers your query.
Please do get back, if need be.
