To ensure that these functionalities remain intact, a dentist’s first priority remains to help patients restore, save and repair their natural teeth. However, in the event of extensive damage to the teeth or the tooth, the dentist may then explore treatment options and procedures which are geared towards tooth extractions and restorative dentistry.
