ROOT CANAL

• Root canal is the most known treatment for the
  teeth whose roots are damaged, whether by decay
  or Trauma. Dentists first numb the tooth then
  create an opening through the crown of the tooth
  so that they can access the pulp chamber. Then,
  they will clean the infection and then remove all
  the unhealthy pulp to prepare the tooth for the
  filling. Permanent fillers are made out of a
  material which is known as gutta-percha, are
  placed inside the canals to stop future
  contamination or infection.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

• Sometimes tooth is so damaged that dentists have
  to go for Dental implants. Rather than trying to
  restore the tooth, your dentist would simply
  replace the damaged tooth with an artificial
  tooth via an implant. During this procedure, the
  root is replaced with a titanium implant. The
  implant is inserted surgically into your jawbone
  where it will become the part of your jaw. After
  that a crown is placed into the same implant. In
  traditional method there are main two steps
• First appointment will have the implants placed
  in the jaw, and then will take few months to heal
• Second appointment will be for crown placement
  (tooth like part).

WHICH OPTION IS BEST?

• Root Canal preserves your natural tooth, which
  can be taken as an advantage. It's also less
  expensive than the Dental Implant Surgery.
  Unfortunately, there's always a chance that the
  procedure will not be successful as compared to
  Dental Implants.
• Dental Implants have been said as one of the best
  modern and advance technique in dentistry,
  because it has only 1 chance of infection after
  the Dental Implant, and even they are more
  robust. The only two drawbacks of this procedure
  are, it requires a surgery and it is also
  slightly expensive than the Root canal. Though
  it's worth your money.
•  
• Ultimately, the decision is to be taken you as
  per your needs and preferences that either to go
  for Root Canal or Dental implant.
