• Do you have an infected tooth thats causing a
  lot of pain? Or do you have extensive tooth
  decay?
• Im Dr. Alex Yen, dentist in Palo Alto CA. When a
  patients 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.

• 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 dont 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.

• 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

• 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.
