Can My Tooth Still Be Saved?

Every tooth is different.

Some teeth that appear badly damaged can still be restored with treatment such as a filling, crown, or root canal. Others have too much decay, too little remaining tooth structure, severe infection, or bone loss to provide a predictable long-term result.

Our recommendation is based on what we believe gives you the best chance for long-term success—not simply what can be done today.

If a tooth can be saved, we’ll explain your options. If it can’t, we’ll explain why we believe an extraction is the healthiest choice.
