Where can I get Medisave deductable implants/3D dental plugs for badly decayed molars?

Extraction of teeth is sometimes indicated for braces treatment to create space to correct dental crowding, protrusion of teeth or camouflage a bite problem. The teeth chosen for extraction will depend on the individual case needs, and a tooth that is weaker is usually the better candidate for extraction. I often want to leave my patients with the best teeth and losing a poorer quality molar tooth is sometimes a better choice. In some situations, a molar on one side is chosen because it is heavily restored or has a questionable long term prognosis.

Dentists choose treatment plans based on many different factors. Some of these factors have nothing to do with clinical data. As a patient, your dentist should go through the different treatment options with you so that you understand the treatment itself, and the long term maintenance required with that selection. Keeping the tooth by performing root canal treatment and a crown may mean that the tooth may still crack further and require extraction at a later date.
