Natural Teeth

Though dentures can be a valuable option for replacing missing teeth but they cannot fully replicate the function and sensation of natural ones. Dentists advise and try to save patients’ orignal teeth as much as possible. Root canal treated teeth offer a more efficient and satisfying chewing experience. Root Canal Treatment saves the natural tooth, preserving its structure and function. This is important for maintaining proper bite alignment, chewing ability, and speech.

Natural teeth look more aesthetically pleasing than artificial replacements with dentures or bridges.

Keeping the orignal teeth through root canal treatment  helps stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with tooth extraction. This bone loss can lead to facial sagging and premature aging.

They can exert greater biting force compared to dentures. This increased force is essential for breaking down tough foods and ensuring proper digestion.

They contribute to the stability of bite. Extraction can disrupt this balance, leading to issues with chewing and jaw joint health.

The coordinated action of jaw muscles, tongue, and lips is more natural with natural teeth. This contributes to efficient chewing and swallowing.

With natural teeth, individuals can enjoy a wider variety of foods without worrying about limitations or discomfort.

Natural teeth are also better for your general health. They help you to chew and digest your food properly, and they also help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Dentures, on the other hand, can increase your risk of gum disease and other dental problems.
