The Serio Dental Retreatment of Root Canals

Several reasons might necessitate a root canal retreatment, including:

1. Saliva entering the restorative structures.
2. The initial treatment did not treat all the canals.
3. The canal has new infections due to new decay or a loose, cracked, or broken crown.
4. Undetected complex canal structures during the initial procedure.

The process typically involves:

1. Accessing the interior of the tooth by removing any crown or restoration.
2. Removing the previous filling materials.
3. Cleaning and disinfecting the canals again.
4. Refilling the canals.
5. Sealing the tooth, often with a new crown for protection.

Like the initial root canal treatment, retreatments at Serio Dental are performed with the utmost care to minimize discomfort. Using modern anaesthetics and techniques, most patients find the experience to be comparable to having a regular dental filling.

With advances in technology and the expertise of our specialists, root canal retreatments have a high success rate. Our goal is always to save and restore your natural tooth, providing a long-lasting solution.

In cases where retreatment isn’t feasible, other options like endodontic surgery or tooth extraction followed by a dental implant might be considered. Your dental professional at Serio Dental will discuss all potential solutions to ensure the best outcome for your oral health.
