Are the nerves removed with (part of) the teeth themselves?:/

I guess that would depend on the proceedure- capping the teeth, the rest of the tooth would still be there- but capping is often done when the toothe is dead & damaged in order to try & keep it. If the tooth was removed, then the roots would have gone with it. In that case, instead of the sharp pain in the jaw/head you would just feel any heat in the gum around the tooth.
I'm guessing you've had a tooth/teeth replaced. Probably a ceramic tooth with a metal pin to fasten it to the jaw?
