Retreatment, not replacement
A second opportunity to preserve the tooth.
When symptoms or disease persist after previous root canal treatment, careful reassessment may reveal a path to retreatment.
Why a treated tooth may need another look
Complex or previously untreated anatomy, leakage, new decay, a crack, or a restoration issue may contribute to persistent disease. Retreatment removes existing filling material so the internal anatomy can be reassessed, cleaned, disinfected, and sealed again.
Restorability, root structure, anatomy, and the likely long-term value of the tooth are considered before care is recommended.
Reassess
Review symptoms, previous treatment, restorations, anatomy, and imaging.
Re-enter
Remove selected restorative and root-filling materials with a conservative approach.
Reseal
Clean, disinfect, and fill the canal system again when retreatment is indicated.
Retreatment begins with diagnosis.
Understand why the tooth is symptomatic before deciding what comes next.
