ENDODONTIC RETREATMENT
WHAT IS ENDODONTIC RETREATMENT?
A second chance to save your tooth.
Endodontic retreatment, essentially a second chance for your previously treated tooth, plays a crucial role in dental health maintenance. This procedure is typically necessary when a tooth that has already received root canal therapy needs further attention.
We will carefully reopening the tooth to investigate the root cause of any persisting issues. This often involves a thorough examination for overlooked root canals or unique features in the tooth's structure, missed in the initial treatment. Through endodontic retreatment, we enhance the likelihood of preserving your natural tooth for the long term, ensuring a healthier, happier smile. Our commitment is to provide you with the best possible outcome, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a fully restored tooth.
THE ENDODONTIC RETREATMENT PROCESS
For your comfort, just as in a standard root canal procedure, we ensure your mouth is numbed during the endodontic retreatment process. The procedure begins with the careful removal of your dental crown, followed by the extraction of the biocompatible filling material from the tooth.
Our skilled Endodontist then conducts a meticulous examination to identify and eliminate any infection present. This is complemented by a thorough cleaning of the interior of your tooth. After cleaning, we refill the tooth with new, safe materials.
We may schedule a follow-up appointment to make sure your mouth is recovering properly. This step is crucial to monitor your recovery and guarantee the success of the retreatment. Our approach is focused on making your experience as comfortable and effective as possible, with a commitment to preserving your natural smile.
