Over the years dentists used to routinely pull teeth that were causing excessive problems for patients. As treatment options have progressed the focus has shifted to prevention and not letting teeth deteriorate to the point where root canals and extractions are needed.
What has progressed along with that is the drive to preserve your natural tooth structure when treatment is needed. It goes with the thought of taking away only the portion of the tooth that is damaged or decayed. This is called being “less invasive” and is being practiced by most dentists. Crowns are great treatment but a lot of natural tooth structure needs to be taken away to have a crown fit. If the whole tooth is not damaged dentist will place fillings or inlays and onlays to replace damaged tooth structure while keepingas much healthy tooth intact as possible.
When you are searching for a dentist look for a denitst who practices non-invasive dental treatment to preserve your teeth.
