When Your Tooth Cannot Be Saved
In some cases, severe breaks and damage mean the tooth cannot be saved through traditional methods. Your dentist will outline tooth replacement options to restore your smile.

Your dentist will help you choose the option that best meets your needs, goals, and budget.
