Root Canal Vs Bridge Vs Dental Implant

When To Consider A Dental Implant Over A Root Canal Or A Dental Bridge?

One of the disadvantages of having teeth replaced with bridges is that you have to have the adjacent teeth ground down and attach the bridge to them. This makes those teeth weaker. If anything happens to those teeth that the bridge is attached to, you have to get a whole new bridge.  Dental implants stand on their own. If you have an implant, and there is trouble with the adjacent tooth, the implant will be unaffected.

A root canal is the space within the root of a tooth. It is part of a naturally occurring space within a tooth that consists of the pulp chamber. Root canal is also a colloquial term for a dental operation, endodontic therapy, wherein the pulp is cleaned out, the space disinfected and then filled.
