The "Most Asked" Question: Implant vs. Root Canal
Patients often ask: "Should I just get a root canal to save my tooth, or is it better to get an implant?"
Root Canal Treatment: This is usually the first choice if your natural tooth can be saved. We clean out the infection and protect it with a crown. It is less invasive and faster.
Dental Implant: If the tooth is too damaged, has a crack in the root, or is likely to fail again, an implant is the more predictable, long-term solution.
The Verdict: If the tooth has a high success rate for a root canal, save your natural tooth. If the tooth is structurally compromised, an implant is a smarter investment.
