Choosing Between Dental Implants and Root Canals

Navigating the complex world of dental treatments can often feel overwhelming. At Coshocton Dentistry, we focus on empowering our patients to make informed decisions, particularly when it comes to choosing between dental implants and root canals.

The most suitable treatment varies based on the individual's circumstances. If the tooth structure is strong and viable, retaining the natural tooth through a root canal is typically preferable. However, dental implants offer a long-lasting and resilient alternative, particularly beneficial for those experiencing repeated dental decay. Unlike natural teeth, dental implants do not suffer from decay, provided they are well taken care of.

In the process of deciding the best course of action, we factor in:
•    The health and strength of the tooth structure
•    The patient's history of dental decay
•    The long-term durability of the dental implant

Financial considerations and the patient's comfort with the proposed treatment also form part of the comprehensive discussion we have with each patient. Our team at Coshocton Dentistry is committed to ensuring each patient understands their dental situation and available options.
