The answer to this question varies greatly depending on the patient's specific needs. However, it is always better to preserve a natural tooth if possible.
Our dentists diagnose and plan treatment with the goal of preserving a natural tooth for as long as possible. So, if root canal treatment or a crown can protect your natural tooth, they'll recommend that.
However, if a tooth is decayed, damaged, infected, or fractured to the point where it's unsalvageable, they will recommend a dental implant if you are a good candidate. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement option that restores both your root and your tooth and protects your jawbone from deterioration.
