Dental Implant versus root canal treatment?

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth, but they are imperfect. We always strive to save your natural teeth first, and only when circumstances require the removal of a tooth would we choose a dental implant next. The deciding factor in keeping a tooth depends on the extent of damage to the tooth and much of the tooth tooth. Often, such teeth require root canal treatment and protection afterwards with a crown.

Root canal treatment is a procedure for treating dead or dying teeth. This can happen due to deep cavities close to the tooth’s nerve or trauma or accidents that damage the nerve inside the tooth.

The inside of the tooth aToothots contains the nerves of the tooth. When the root canal procedure is completed, the tooth can become brittle and brittle. The crown or” “a” is placed over the remaining tooth to protect it. This is very important, especially for BACK teeth.

Root canal success also depends on how much of the tooth is root mining. There is usually no issue with root canal treatment as long as the tooth is adequately protected. If the original tooth has a cavity that compromises its remaining structure, its long-term success is affected. Don’t believe in heroic den istry. This means that ifdon’tn’t think the toowon’tn’t cure you adequately, I would not suggest investing 2000-3000 into a tooth for root canal treatment and crown only to have it removed a few years later.

If the tooth is toothily damaged, I would suggest investing in dental implant treatment, as the long-term prognosis would be better. This would be far cheaper in the long term.

Dental implants have a greater than 90 percent success rate compared to compromised teeth that may fail at a 50 percent rate in 10 years.

If the tooth is smooth, I will recommend root canal treatment first; however, the advantages and disadvantages of each option can be discussed together before treatment.
