Root Canal Therapy vs Extraction
The key in this debate is knowing when each should be applied. It should not be about convenience or speed. At Smile Makeover, we follow the principles of Conservative Dentistry. That is keep natural teeth the longest possible instead of extractions. This is accomplished by sealing fissures, fillings (simple or complex), and root canals. By applying endodontics we avoid problems derived from losing a tooth. As well as the complications of not replacing the tooth at the time.
Benefits of Saving Natural Teeth
An implant cannot compete in functionality or aesthetics with the natural tooth. The main benefits of Root Canal are:
- Avoiding extract the natural tooth
- Eliminate dental infections and consequences such as halitosis
- Saving the tooth avoid mobility and displacement of adjacent teeth
- Replaces tooth areas that had disappeared, restoring their functionality
- Avoiding more expensive dental treatments
However, there are cases when it is impossible to save the tooth.
