Endodontic Retreatment at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby
Endodontic retreatment, also known as root canal retreatment, is a specialised procedure offered at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby to address issues with a previously treated tooth that has become infected or painful. Our skilled endodontists provide expert care to save your tooth and restore your oral health.
When is Endodontic Retreatment Necessary?
Endodontic retreatment may be recommended in the following situations:
- Persistent Infection: When a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment develops a new infection or inflammation.
- Incomplete Treatment: When the original root canal procedure did not fully clean and seal the root canals.
- Tooth Damage: When the tooth has experienced new trauma or damage since the initial treatment.
The Endodontic Retreatment Procedure
- Evaluation: Our endodontist will perform a thorough examination, including reviewing your dental history and taking x-rays, to assess the condition of the tooth and determine if retreatment is necessary.<l/i>
- Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring your comfort during the procedure.
- Access: The filling material and any obstructions are removed to access the root canals.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canals are carefully cleaned and disinfected to remove any remaining bacteria and infected tissue.
- Filling: The root canals are filled with a biocompatible material to seal them and prevent recontamination.
- Restoration: After the retreatment, the tooth may be restored with a filling or crown to protect it and restore its function and appearance.
Benefits of Endodontic Retreatment
- Saves Natural Tooth: Endodontic retreatment allows you to save your natural tooth rather than having it extracted.
- Preserves Jawbone: By saving the tooth, endodontic retreatment helps preserve the surrounding jawbone and maintain facial structure.
- Prevents Tooth Loss: Retreatment resolves issues with the original root canal treatment, preventing the need for tooth extraction and the complications associated with tooth loss.
