At Foundation Dental Specialists, we take gum health seriously. Early detection and intervention are key to preventing the progression of periodontal disease.
Most root canal procedures end in success, but in some rare cases, teeth do not properly heal and become infected. The good news is that there are still options to save the natural tooth even after it has failed to heal or developed significant problems.Through endodontic retreatment, your endodontist will reenter the root canal, remove the filling, and clean the canal again. Then, a filling will seal the space and a new crown will be placed on the tooth. In just one simple procedure, you’ll be able to have a healthy, functional tooth again.
Endodontic retreatments have a very high success rate, making them a highly effective solution for saving compromised teeth.

While general dentists can perform root canals, endodontists specialize in diagnosing and treating complex root canal issues. They have additional years of training beyond dental school and use advanced technology to increase the success rate of treatment. If you need retreatment or have a complicated case, an endodontist is your best choice.
Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of endodontic treatment, including retreatment. Coverage varies depending on your plan, so it’s best to check with your provider or contact our office for insurance verification. We’ll help you understand your benefits and provide cost estimates before treatment.
The cost of endodontic treatment depends on the complexity of the case and insurance coverage. While an endodontist may charge more than a general dentist, their expertise and advanced equipment often result in higher success rates and fewer complications, ultimately saving you money by avoiding extra procedures. Retreatment is also a cost-effective alternative to tooth extraction and replacement.
If an infected root canal is left untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding teeth, gums, and even the jawbone, leading to serious complications. This may result in the need for tooth extraction, which can lead to additional dental work like implants or bridges. Retreatment preserves your natural tooth and prevents further oral health issues.
No, endodontic retreatment is not painful because the area is fully numbed before the procedure. Many patients actually experience relief because the retreatment eliminates infection and inflammation. For those with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience.
