When a root canal fails, you need clear options. At London Dental Specialists, we offer non-surgical retreatment as a preferred solution with high success rates (85-89%). This procedure involves removing the original filling, addressing infections, and resealing the tooth to preserve its integrity. Many patients worry about pain, recovery time, and alternatives like extraction or apicoectomy. Our specialists understand your concerns and guide you through each step of the retreatment process. We carefully evaluate each case to determine if non-surgical retreatment is appropriate or if other interventions might be necessary. Rest assured, most failed root canals can be successfully retreated, especially when the original treatment was performed years ago under different standards.
Non-surgical retreatment is a procedure performed when a previous root canal therapy has failed.
