At APX Endodontics, we specialize in advanced procedures designed to save your natural teeth and relieve discomfort. Non-surgical endodontic retreatment gives a previously treated tooth a second chance, removing any lingering infection, restoring health, and protecting the long-term stability of your smile.
Non-surgical endodontic retreatment is a specialized procedure performed when a tooth that previously received root canal therapy develops new problems or hasn't healed as expected. Although root canals have excellent success rates, occasionally problems arise from complex anatomy, stubborn bacteria, new decay, or reinfection over time.
During retreatment, we remove existing filling materials, thoroughly clean and disinfect the canals, then reseal the tooth to prevent future complications. You'll then return to your referring dentist for a permanent restoration. This gives your tooth a second chance at healing while helping you avoid extraction and more complex treatments. With modern technology, retreatment often successfully resolves problems and maintains your smile for years.
Specialized Expertise in Complex Cases. Retreatment can be more involved than an initial root canal, which is why advanced expertise matters. Our board-certified endodontist has achieved the highest level training and has extensive experience in managing complex cases. As a faculty member at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, she stays current with the latest techniques and research to provide you with the most effective care possible.
Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes. We utilize cutting-edge technology specifically designed for challenging retreatment procedures. Our CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) machine provides detailed 3D views to identify hidden canals or reasons for persistent infection. Advanced ZEISS microscopes offer unmatched magnification and visibility, allowing us to work with exceptional precision. Fotona laser technology aids in thorough disinfection, improving your chances of successful healing.
A Patient-Centered Approach. We understand that needing retreatment can feel frustrating or concerning. Our team takes the time to explain what happened with your previous treatment, what we’ll do differently, and what you can expect moving forward. We’ll work closely with your referring dentist to ensure coordinated care and keep you informed every step of the way. Your comfort and confidence matter to us.
Proven Success with Complex Cases. Retreatment can sound more daunting than initial treatment, but our combination of specialized training, advanced technology, and meticulous technique gives your tooth the best possible chance at long-term success. We’re committed to helping you save your natural tooth and avoiding more invasive procedures.
