Root Canal Retreatment in Beverly Hills and Surrounding Areas
At Biologic Endodontics, we are dedicated to saving teeth and preserving natural smiles. Even if a tooth has undergone a previous root canal, it may sometimes fail to heal completely, or pain and infection may return. In these cases, root canal retreatment becomes necessary to restore your dental health and relieve discomfort.
Our Beverly Hills endodontists have extensive experience performing root canal retreatment for patients across Beverly Hills, Culver City, Westwood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Mid-City. We use the latest technology and techniques to gently and effectively treat even the most challenging cases, ensuring you feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
What is Root Canal Retreatment?
Root canal retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing the previous root canal filling, thoroughly cleaning the canals, and then resealing the tooth. This procedure is more complex than the initial treatment but offers a second chance to save your natural tooth.
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.
