Dental Implants

your first priority should always be to save your natural tooth if you suffer a dental accident or illness. No bridge or implant, no matter how sophisticated, can really replace your natural tooth. For this reason, you should seek advice from a dentist or endodontist as soon as you have oral pain or discomfort so that you may learn about your alternatives.

If your dentist advises tooth extraction, find out if a root canal procedure from an endodontist can help preserve the tooth. The damaged pulp (soft inner tissue) of your tooth is removed during this surgery, and the empty cavity is then filled and sealed. The process is completed by a dentist placing a crown or filling on your tooth to restore it, allowing it to function similarly to your natural teeth, assuring comfortable biting and a natural appearance.
