With a root canal, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/\">South Shore Dental Care<\/a> team can help you preserve more of natural smile, which will benefit you in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tooth Extractions vs. Root Canals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a moment to consider these two very different approaches to treating an infected tooth.<\/p>\n<p>A tooth extraction, on the one hand, will help you eliminateinfection and restore your smile to a healthier state. But extracting a tooth also creates a particular complication. With a tooth now missing, you have to replace what you\u2019ve lost to prevent surrounding teeth from repositioning. That means coming back to our <strong>Massapequa<\/strong> dental office for a whole other service, like a crown and bridge or a dental implant, which can also help you stave off bone loss.<\/p>\n<p>Now consider the benefits of a <strong>root canal<\/strong> from <strong>South Shore Dental Care<\/strong>. With a <strong>root canal<\/strong>, there\u2019s no missing tooth to replace and no threat of bone loss. Some patients may need to have their tooth capped with a crown, but that tooth and its root are still there, ensuring that your smile\u2019s appearance and functionality aren\u2019t negatively impacted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does Your Smile Need Restorative Care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve recently been told you need a <strong>root canal<\/strong> but have been putting off care, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/contact.html\">get in touch with South Shore Dental Care today<\/a>. Our <strong>Massapequa<\/strong> team would be happy to reserve a consultation visit for you, in addition to answering your questions.
