650-285-6999 Root canal retreatment is a crucial service for those who experience complications after an initial root canal procedure. Our team at Richard S. Durando, DDS is dedicated to ensuring your oral health is restored effectively.
Understanding Root Canal Retreatment
When a root canal treatment does not fully resolve the issue or new infections arise, retreatment becomes necessary. This procedure involves reopening the tooth, cleaning out the infected area again and sealing it to prevent further issues. Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth and alleviate any discomfort you may be experiencing.
The process starts with a thorough examination using advanced imaging technology. This allows us to identify any hidden or persistent infection areas. After carefully reopening the tooth, we remove any existing filling material to access the root canals. The canals are then meticulously cleaned and disinfected before being refilled and sealed. Finally, we ensure the tooth is protected with a new filling or crown.
