A root canal procedure should be a permanent solution for your tooth issue. In the course of your care, the unhealthy tooth structure and bacteria within the pulp are removed, the space is sealed for protection, and the tooth will be restored with a crown to keep it safe. However, if a new infection develops, or if the initial problem was not completely treated, it becomes necessary to undergo additional work. An endodontist can provide this care, ensuring that your health is fully restored.
Retreatment takes place when teeth have been worked on before but need to receive additional care. After removing the restoration and the material that seals your pulp, we can find and remove any new problems, or if necessary we can clear away bacteria that remained after a root canal. Once this is done, we can seal the tooth again. To make sure we are aware of what kind of care you need, we will provide an advanced review using imaging technology that lets us perform close and thorough evaluations.
Endodontic services provide care for people with potentially serious oral health risks without making extractions necessary. In addition to having experience working within the pulp to address problems, we can tend to your needs by working in areas like the roots of teeth, spaces that require oral surgery to access. While these kinds of services can be more involved than a general dental procedure to restore a tooth, we can ultimately preserve your complete smile and reduce the amount of work you need by making a tooth extraction unnecessary.
Through retreatment, we can tend to new problems with a tooth that has already been restored, and we can take on issues that were not completely resolved during your initial care.
