Re-Endodontic Treatment (Retreatment)

Even a tooth that has previously had a root canal can sometimes fail to heal or develop a new infection months — or years — later. This often happens when microscopic branch canals were missed during the first procedure, or when a broken seal lets new bacteria back inside. Many patients assume this means the tooth must be pulled, but with expert retreatment it can often still be saved.

Re-endodontics requires a much higher level of precision, experience, and diagnostic technique than a standard root canal — a domain our practice specialises in. Using precise digital imaging and specialised tools, we gently reopen the tooth, carefully remove previous filling materials or posts, and locate hard-to-find extra canals or blockages.

We then thoroughly sanitise the deep canal network from top to bottom before resealing it permanently — giving your natural tooth a true second chance and restoring pain-free chewing.
