Think a tooth that had a root canal years ago can’t be saved? Think again.
If you're experiencing pain, swelling, or infection in a tooth that was previously treated, extraction may not be your only option.
✨ Root canal retreatment gives your natural tooth a second chance. An endodontic specialist can remove lingering infection, thoroughly clean the canals, and reseal the tooth to help restore comfort and function.
Why do many patients choose retreatment before extraction?
✔️ Preserves your natural tooth and bite
✔️ Avoids more invasive procedures
✔️ Often requires less healing time than implants
✔️ Can be a more cost-effective solution over time
📊 When treated early, root canal retreatment has a success rate of approximately 85–90%.
The longer an infection is left untreated, the greater the risk of damage to surrounding bone and tissue—which can limit your treatment options.
If you've been told a tooth needs to be extracted, consider getting a second opinion first. You may have more options than you think.
