Post removal for retreatment access is a specialised dental procedure that involves carefully extracting existing posts from previously treated teeth to enable necessary root canal retreatment. At London Dental Specialists, our endodontists utilise advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to safely access and treat the affected tooth. The procedure typically involves a thorough assessment using digital radiographs to evaluate the post position and surrounding structures, followed by careful removal of any existing crown or restoration. Precision ultrasonic instruments are then used to break down cement around the post, allowing for controlled removal using specialised instruments and techniques. Throughout the procedure, operating microscopes are employed to ensure maximum precision and visibility, minimising damage to surrounding tooth structure and identifying potential complications early. Following successful post removal, we can then proceed with the necessary root canal retreatment, involving thorough cleaning of the root canal system, removal of any infection or damaged tissue, and preparation for new restorative materials. Patient comfort and safety are paramount during the procedure, with local anaesthesia and modern techniques ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the treatment process.

Post removal for retreatment access is a dental procedure where a metal post that was previously placed in a tooth's root canal is carefully removed. This is typically necessary when a tooth requires endodontic retreatment due to persistent infection or when the post has fractured. At London Dental Specialists, our endodontists use specialised equipment and techniques to safely remove posts while preserving the surrounding tooth structure.
You might need a post removed from your tooth for several reasons:
Post removal at London Dental Specialists is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. You may feel some pressure during the treatment, but the anaesthetic prevents pain. Our specialists use precise techniques to minimise any discomfort. After the procedure, mild soreness for 1-2 days is normal and can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.
At London Dental Specialists, we remove posts using a careful, systematic approach:
Our specialists use magnification and advanced equipment to perform this procedure with minimal risk to the surrounding tooth structure.
While post removal is generally safe when performed by specialists, there are some potential risks:
At London Dental Specialists, our endodontists have extensive experience in post removal, significantly reducing these risks through careful technique and advanced technology.
Post removal typically takes between 60-90 minutes at London Dental Specialists, depending on the complexity of your case. Factors that affect the duration include the type of post, how long it has been in place, and the condition of the surrounding tooth structure. Our specialists will provide you with a more accurate time estimate during your consultation based on your specific situation.
After post removal and retreatment at London Dental Specialists, you can expect:
Endodontic retreatment following post removal has a success rate of approximately 70-80% when performed by specialists. At London Dental Specialists, our endodontists have extensive training and use advanced techniques to maximise success rates. The outcome depends on several factors including the reason for retreatment, the condition of the tooth, and how well the canals can be accessed and cleaned after post removal. We thoroughly evaluate each case to provide realistic expectations for treatment outcomes.
In most cases, yes, you will need a new post and crown after retreatment at London Dental Specialists. Once the retreatment is complete and the tooth has healed, we will assess the tooth's structural needs. If the tooth requires additional support, a new post will be placed, followed by a new crown to restore function and aesthetics. Our team works closely with restorative dentists to ensure optimal long-term results for your treated tooth.
