Prices for re-root canal treatment at our practice in South East London are quoted case by case.
Effective root canal treatment is essential for preserving an infected tooth and avoiding an extraction. At Mint Dental Clinic, our team is particularly interested in Endodontics, which uses cutting-edge technology, knowledge and experience to ensure your comfort and a successful outcome.
To do this, we use microscope technology that provides magnification and fibre optic illumination during treatment. The microscope lets our endodontist view tiny details within your tooth for more precise treatment. We also use rotary files for even more accuracy, so you spend less time in the dental chair.
You might need to have your root canal redone for several reasons. Sometimes, the initial treatment does not heal properly. Other causes include:
Some common symptoms of a complex root canal that may require a re-root canal treatment include:
Before the procedure, your dentist will carefully examine your tooth to determine why your first root canal might have failed. This assessment will enable the dentist to create a treatment plan for your re-root canal treatment.
Your dentist will follow the same procedure as before. Sometimes, if the root canal is narrow or blocked, you may require a minor surgical procedure. The surgery involves making a small cut in the gum under a local anaesthetic.
The dentist will remove any diseased tissue and the root’s tip before sealing the root canal’s end and closing the incision.
