Root Canal Retreatment
Root Canal Retreatment in Beverly Hills | Biologic Endodontics
At Biologic Endodontics, we specialize in saving teeth, even those that have undergone a previous root canal treatment. Sometimes, despite the best efforts, a tooth may not heal as expected, or pain and infection may return. In these cases, root canal retreatment is necessary to preserve the tooth and relieve discomfort.
What is Root Canal Retreatment?
Why You Might Need Root Canal Retreatment
Several factors can lead to the need for a root canal retreatment, including:
Incomplete Cleaning of Canals
New Decay
Cracked or Damaged Crowns
Complex Root Anatomy
The Root Canal Retreatment Process
- Thorough Assessment: We use advanced imaging, including CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), to get a detailed 3D view of your tooth. This technology helps us identify any missed canals or complex anatomy that may have been overlooked during the initial treatment.
- Reopening the Tooth: We carefully access the previously treated tooth to remove the old filling material.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The canals are meticulously cleaned, reshaped, and prepared for new filling material.
- Sealing the Canals: We seal the cleaned canals with fresh filling material and place a temporary filling.
- Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, the tooth will require a new crown or permanent restoration to restore full functionality.
