At NK Family Dental, Dental Implant Specialist is a fairly safe and comfortable procedure. Treatment includes removing the interior part of the tooth and its damaged or infected root, followed by filling and sealing. With this process, you can retain much of the original structure of your tooth while improving its function and ending the pain or discomfort that the affected tooth was causing.
