From the perspective of the patient, it is understandable that everyone wants to save on treatment costs. However, from the perspective of a dentist, our main concern is the long-term health of the teeth. Having a poorly done dental restoration increases the likelihood of future tooth decay.

Of course, a decayed tooth can be restored, but this vicious cycle of decay and restoration gradually depletes the tooth’s “life span,” making it more and more fragile. Once the tooth structure is compromised to a significant extent, extraction becomes the only option, and we do not hope to see it to our patient till to this extend.
