🗣️ MONDAY PROFESSIONAL DISCUSSION

Dental implants have become increasingly accessible — but are we placing too many of them?

With advances in implant dentistry, digital workflows, and immediate treatment protocols, replacing a questionable tooth with an implant has become more predictable than ever.

But where should we draw the line?

When a compromised natural tooth still has a reasonable prognosis, do you favor:

🦷 Saving the natural tooth whenever possible
🔩 Extraction and implant placement when long-term predictability favors it
⚖️ Evaluating every case individually with no default approach

At what point do YOU decide a tooth is no longer worth saving?

Interested to hear perspectives from restorative dentists, periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons, and general practitioners.
