Dental Implant Cost in Cebu – 2026 Price Guide

Tooth pain is one of the most common health problems in the Philippines. Yet, instead of saving the tooth through root canal treatment, many Filipinos choose to remove it.

My name is Carlo, and this also happened to me. A dental friend advised me to remove my infected tooth. When I consulted other dentists, they also suggested extraction. The reason? They said my bone level was shallow and the infection inside the tooth was severe.

But I started to ask: Is removing the tooth always the best solution? Or is it simply the cheaper option?
