With specialized training in root canal therapy and advanced dental technology, an endodontist focuses on saving natural teeth rather than removing them. Choosing the right specialist can make all the difference in your comfort, recovery, and overall oral health. Your natural teeth are stronger, more functional, and better suited for your jaw than any artificial replacement. Once a tooth is lost, even with modern restorations, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate, and neighboring teeth may shift. This can lead to bite issues and additional dental work in the future.
