A cracked tooth can be a scary experience, but it doesn't automatically mean you will lose it. While root canal therapy combined with a protective crown can successfully rescue teeth with minor or surface-level fractures, deeper cracks that extend below the gumline or split the root often require a gentle extraction to protect your jaw from serious infection. Our latest blog breaks down how dental professionals evaluate different types of cracks to determine whether your tooth can be saved or if a replacement option like a dental implant is the healthier choice for your long-term wellness. 🦷✨
