Root Canal vs Single Tooth Implant

Root Canal vs. Single Tooth Implant: Which Is Best?

When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, choosing the right treatment is important for both your oral health and long term comfort.

At Marvel Dental Practice in Clifton, Dr. Anna Gazu, DMD helps patients compare root canal therapy and single tooth dental implants to determine the best solution for their unique needs.

Both options are highly effective, but the right choice depends on the condition of the tooth, surrounding bone health, and your personal goals. A personalized consultation can help you move forward with confidence.

Understanding Your Options

Root canal therapy is designed to save your natural tooth by removing infected tissue from inside the tooth, disinfecting the area, and sealing it with a protective restoration such as a dental crown. This option is often recommended when the tooth structure is still strong and can be preserved.

A single tooth implant replaces a missing or non restorable tooth with a titanium post and custom crown. Dental implants are commonly recommended when a tooth cannot be saved or has already been removed. Both treatments restore function, improve appearance, and support overall oral health.
