“Whenever possible, my first priority is to understand whether a tooth can be saved before considering removal. Root canal treatment and prosthodontic planning are not just about fixing pain or replacing teeth — they are about restoring function, protecting the bite, and helping patients keep their natural teeth for as long as predictably possible.”
