  7. Do you have an infected tooth that’s causing a lot of pain? Or do you have extensive tooth decay? I’m Dr. Alex Yen, dentist in Palo Alto CA. When a patient’s tooth becomes infected, we must decide whether to save the tooth by performing a root canal or to extract the tooth and then go for dental implants. At Blue Turtle Dental, our primary effort is always to save your natural tooth. This is our first choice for both health and cosmetic results. Saving your natural tooth helps: • Maintain efficient chewing • Maintain normal biting force and avoid collapse of the bite • Maintain natural structure of your jaw • Limit the need for more costly, ongoing dental work The best choice to replace an extracted tooth is implant, which provides permanence and the beauty of natural looking teeth.

  8. Root Canal Treatment (RCT) Keeping your tooth helps prevent the rest of your teeth from shifting out of line and causing jaw problems. Some top benefits of getting a root canal treatment are: • You don’t lose your original tooth. • Minimal pain • Less expensive than a dental implant procedure • Takes less time than a dental implant • Less recovery time than dental implant • High success rate Risks of a Root Canal While the root canal treatment offers many benefits and has a very high success rate, complications like abscesses can arise if the entire infected pulp is not removed, which underscores the importance of visiting an experienced dentist trained in endodontics.

  9. Dental Implants Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and support artificial replacement teeth. Benefits of a Dental Implant Here are some benefits of a dental implant: • They are aesthetic, comfortable, look, and function like natural teeth • Long-lasting and can last decades with proper care • Low failure rate • Risks of a Dental Implant Below are some of the cons of getting a dental implant: • Lengthy process • Time intensive • Costly without insurance • Longer recovery period

  10. Root Canal vs. Implant: Which is the best option? • Making comparisons between the two treatments is like comparing apples with oranges. • Root canals and dental implants are equally successful, but implants may need more follow-up procedures. • The decision to pursue a particular treatment procedure should be based on the complexity of the patients’ individual cases, health, and preferences. • If your tooth is salvageable, we would always work to save it and recommend root canal to preserve your natural tooth.
