Dr. Grizzard’s approach is to keep natural teeth as healthy as possible; the less work he does on a natural tooth, the better it is for the patient. However, if a tooth is no longer healthy and requires a restoration (filling), endodontics (root canal), extraction, implant, crown, bridge, or prosthodontic (denture), he will provide the patient with their options and educate the patient on the risks and benefits of each option.
