Root canal retreatment is a specialized endodontic procedure that addresses complications or failures from previous root canal therapy. At Southwest Endodontics, we understand that learning you need additional treatment can be concerning. Our endodontic specialists in Geneva and Orland Park, IL provide careful retreatment services to resolve ongoing infections, pain, or other complications from prior root canal procedures. Our comprehensive root canal retreatment services include:

• Thorough evaluation of previous treatment complications
• Complete removal of old filling materials
• Identification of untreated canals or complex anatomy
• Treatment of persistent infections
• Advanced cleaning with GentleWave® technology
• Permanent restoration of the treated tooth

• Addressing procedural errors from previous treatment

If you're experiencing discomfort from a previously treated tooth, reach out to us for a consultation with our experienced endodontic team.

Preserving Your Natural Teeth Through Advanced Retreatment

Even with proper care, a small percentage of root canal treatments may not heal as expected, requiring additional intervention. Recognizing the signs that indicate the need for retreatment is crucial for maintaining your oral health and preventing further complications.

You might need root canal retreatment if you experience:

• Persistent or recurring pain in a previously treated tooth
• Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums
• Development of an abscess or pimple on the gums
• Sensitivity to temperature that doesn't subside
• Discoloration of the treated tooth
• Delayed healing or new symptoms after initial treatment
• Radiographic evidence showing incomplete healing

Root canal retreatment gives your natural tooth another chance, which is better than extraction when possible. The procedure helps us address complex canal anatomy possibly missed during the initial treatment or remove bacteria that have returned to the canal system. Our specialized techniques and advanced imaging help us find and treat the source of persistent infections accurately.
