Even with the advancement of dental implants for looking and feeling great, nothing beats your natural teeth. Dr. Patel will always suggest conservative treatments whenever possible. If your tooth can be repaired with a filling, we will expertly restore it back to the natural shape and look you are accustomed to. Sometimes though, a tooth may be too damaged for a dental filling and require a replacement, in which case a dental implant may be the best solution. Ultimately, every dental situation is different, and a consultation with Dr. Patel will steer you on the correct path for treatment.
