13 Aug Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction

Deciding whether to do a root canal or extract a tooth can be a very overwhelming decision. However, it does not have to be. Endodontists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating oral pain through root canal therapy. Dr. Joshua Yadegar is an expert at handling severe dental pain and our staff is trained to assist patients that suffer from dental fears. Our primary concern at Beverly Hills Endodontics is to provide our patients with the highest quality dental care, saving our patient’s teeth.

Root canal therapy and treatment is vital to saving damaged or severely decayed teeth. The American Academy of Endodontics research shows that almost 15 million teeth are saved annually due to root canal procedures!

Root Canals are the Best Choice in Saving Your Teeth

At Beverly Hills Endodontics, Dr. Yadegar and our highly trained team, have helped many patients who fear dental procedures. Some patients, fearful of root canals, wonder if removing the tooth entirely is the best option. We let all of our patients know that saving a natural tooth is the best option possible. An extraction may seem quicker, and less scary. However, extractions have their own drawbacks.

For example, once a tooth is extracted chewing is more difficult, your bite may change, and you may require a dental implant which is a large procedure, requiring more time in the dental chair. A root canal can be more cost affective and allows you to keep your natural teeth. Once a tooth has undergone a root canal, is filled and sealed, the procedure has a very high success rate. Dr. Yadegar has tremendous success with minimally invasive root canal therapy and has saved teeth that last a lifetime, eliminating pain and decay.
