Having a broken or dying tooth can be a time of great stress for many people, as you are losing a part of yourself and fearing the cost of fixing it. Dr. Parsa T. Zadeh will try to save a damaged or decayed tooth, but sometimes the tooth is so damaged, worn, or traumatized that it cannot be saved by any currently available method.
If the tooth cannot be repaired with a crown or onlay or is severely infected or decayed beyond what a root canal treatment can fix, it may need to be removed. In these cases, Dr. Zadeh will first take X-rays to determine the extent of the damage and help plan the most effective way to remove the tooth.
