No, the materials used for implants are made of metal and ceramic, so they cannot decay. However, you still need to brush and floss around the implant to keep your gums healthy. If the gums get infected, the implant can become loose, so clean habits are still very important.

Will people be able to tell if I have a root canal or an implant?

Both treatments use a porcelain crown that is custom-made to match the colour of your surrounding teeth. Once the work is finished, it is almost impossible for anyone to notice a difference. Your smile will look natural and seamless regardless of which option you choose.

How do I know if my tooth is too damaged for a root canal?

A professional will use 3D imaging to look for cracks that go below the gum line. If a crack reaches the root, the tooth usually cannot be saved and must be replaced with an implant. If the damage is only in the top part of the tooth, a root canal is usually the primary recommendation.

Is it possible to get an implant immediately after a tooth is pulled?

In some cases, the titanium post can be placed on the same day the old tooth is removed. This depends on whether you have enough healthy bone to support the new structure. A professional will evaluate your jaw to see if you are a good candidate for this faster process.
