Can Your Natural Tooth Be Saved?
If a tooth is painful, broken, loose or has been advised for extraction, ask for an assessment before deciding what to do.
We assess whether a natural tooth can be predictably restored. If it cannot, we explain why and discuss replacement choices with you.
Consultation fee: ₹1,500 one time.
Start with the diagnosis
Find out what is affecting the tooth
Tooth condition, gum support, bite, prior treatment and overall health all matter.
Pain or infection
Understand the source
Examination and relevant imaging help assess decay, cracks or problems around the root.
Damage or fracture
Check what can be restored
Review remaining tooth structure, gum health and the likely restoration needed.
Loose tooth
Assess support and stability
Check gum support, bite and other factors before discussing stabilisation or replacement.
Treatment choices
Preserve when appropriate; explain alternatives
Depending on findings, options may include a filling, root canal treatment, crown, gum treatment, monitoring or extraction. The right choice depends on whether the tooth can be restored and maintained.
Ask about the expected lifespan, maintenance, risks and cost of each option. Extraction should be recommended when clinically appropriate, not assumed in advance.

Tooth-saving FAQs
What patients ask
Can a severely damaged tooth always be saved?
No. The amount of remaining tooth, gum and bone support, infection and ability to restore it all affect the decision.
Should I get another opinion before extraction?
If you are unsure, you can ask for an assessment of the tooth and a clear explanation of preservation and replacement options.
Is root canal treatment always needed?
Only if the diagnosis supports it. The clinician will explain the reason for any recommended treatment.
Before an irreversible decision
Understand the condition of the tooth
Bring any recent X-rays, reports and treatment advice.
