Root Canal Retreatment Marietta, GA

Root canal retreatment is a specialized procedure designed to address complications from a previous root canal therapy. In some cases, a tooth may not heal as expected or could develop new issues after the initial treatment. We offer root canal retreatment in Marietta, Georgia, to help restore your oral health and maintain the integrity of your natural tooth.

When Is Root Canal Retreatment Necessary?

While root canal therapy has a high success rate, there are instances when retreatment becomes necessary. This can occur if the original infection was not entirely eliminated, the tooth sustains new damage or the crown or filling does not fully seal the tooth. Over time, bacteria can reenter the root canals, causing persistent pain, sensitivity or swelling.

Root canal retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing any remaining infection or previous root canal material and thoroughly cleaning and resealing the canals. Dr. Joshua Burton uses advanced techniques and precision to ensure the success of the procedure.

Benefits of Root Canal Retreatment

Opting for root canal retreatment offers several benefits, such as:

  • Tooth preservation: Retreatment allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than extracting it.
  • Improved function: Restoring the tooth enables proper chewing and speaking.
  • Relief from discomfort: Retreatment addresses lingering pain or sensitivity caused by infection.
  • Enhanced oral health: Resolving the issue reduces the risk of further complications.

Our dentist and team understand the importance of saving your natural teeth whenever possible and work closely with patients to achieve lasting results.
