Root Canal Retreatment

Virtually Painless

Infection and decay below the surface of your tooth can be painful. Root canal retreatment is virtually painless. Plus, the recovery is much more comfortable than a tooth extraction. Once treatment is complete, you can enjoy a pain-free smile.

Lasting Results

Root canal retreatment restores the integrity of your tooth and can prevent an extraction. Saving your tooth offers lasting benefits by maintaining the density of your jawbone and the natural strength of your smile.

Cost-Effective

Root canal retreatment is generally less expensive than replacing your tooth. If you opt to remove the tooth, you will need to pay for a bridge or dental implant to restore your smile, in addition to the price of the extraction.

During root canal retreatment, your endodontist will:

Create a small opening to gain access to the root canals. 

Remove the filling material. 

Carefully examine the inside of your tooth.

Clean the inside of your tooth to remove any infection or debris.

Fill and seal the root canals.

Place a temporary filling in the tooth.

As soon as possible,

You will need to return to your dentist to have a new dental crown or another type of restoration placed over your tooth to protect it and restore proper function.
