Two roads

A damaged tooth has two futures.

Sometimes extraction is right. If it is, we'll tell you.

The natural road: a golden road winds through night hills toward a small glowing tooth hanging like a moon in a swirling starry sky above a cliff. A lantern burns at the fork. The other road: the same landscape faded to sepia under a dim sun. The road is pale and dashed, and a lone implant post stands on the cliff where the tooth was.
Still yours.
Replaced.
Relief
Relief the same day. One visit, sometimes two.
What you keep
Your own tooth, for life.
Your jawbone
The bone beneath it, preserved.
Healing
Months of healing. Several surgeries.
What you get
An implant, and its upkeep.
Your jawbone
The bone recedes.

Patient stories

What it felt like, in their words.

★4.9average on Google
Dr. Phan saved me from a root canal nightmare. Came to him with an infection due to a previous root canal elsewhere and he was able to save my tooth, treat infection and I was able to nicely fully recover. … Does not rush during appointments and is communicative.
N.L.GOOGLE REVIEW
Dr. Phan evaluated the situation and offered 2 options, 1 less invasive with a reasonable chance it would take care of the problem, but not certain … I chose the less invasive procedure hoping I could save my tooth. … Unfortunately, my nerve did not like the procedure and I did have to get the root canal a few months later … I would absolutely recommend this practice.
K.M.GOOGLE REVIEW
I am most indebted to Dr Phan. He managed to save my molar which was severely cracked and with an ancillary root that was narrow and difficult to reach. I would highly recommend him.

Common questions

Straight answers, no surprises.

We're out-of-network with every plan. We file your claim for you, and most patients find the difference smaller than they feared.

What out-of-network means for your bill

No more than a filling, for most patients. Profound anesthesia comes first, and we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation if you're anxious.

Root canal plus crown runs $2,100–3,500. Extraction plus implant runs $4,000–6,000 and up. Saving the tooth keeps your jawbone and usually lasts a lifetime. We're out-of-network with all plans, file your claim for you, and offer payment plans.

Saving your natural tooth is usually best: better function, lower cost, no bone loss. We'll give you an honest recommendation after a 3D imaging evaluation, including when extraction is the right call.

Persistent pain, lingering sensitivity, swelling, or a darkened tooth. Even without symptoms, infection can exist. A 3D scan confirms.

Anesthesia, remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the canals, then a crown by your dentist. One to two visits, minimal downtime.
