A crowned tooth doesn't always need a root canal.
A root canal removes the nerve from the tooth, not the root.
An implant replaces a lost or extracted tooth. It has a titanium screw that is placed in the bone, then a crown is permanently attached to the implant.
Implants can also be set to retain a full denture. My mom has this on the lower. It isn't removable by her, and she still comes in to let me clean it regularly.
Clear as mud?
Granddaughter any day now.. She's having pains, but nothing regular yet. Induction is set to start Wednesday evening, so by Thursday I'll be a Bibi!![]()
I understood the tooth explanation!
Wonderful, exciting times for your family! I’ll be praying for all of you.
