Root canal treatment
A root canal treatment is one of the most common and safe dental procedures performed worldwide. The root canal treatment is the first possible measure in the line of defense to eliminate the pain and to save your natural tooth.
Root canal retreatment
Root canal retreatment is a necessary measurement in cases when a tooth, which already went under a root canal treatment, is showing reoccurring signs of inflammation and pain.
Δ When is a root canal retreatment necessary?
A root canal retreatment may be necessary when a previously root canal treated tooth fails to heal or if a recurrent infection is evident.
Δ Why root canal retreatment?
The purpose of a root canal retreatment is to discover what caused the reoccurrence of the bacterial infection in the root canal space and eliminate it in order to prevent reoccurrence in the future.
Δ Is a root canal retreatment necessary?
It is necessary to identify and fully remove the bacterial infection from the root canal in order to prevent reoccurrence and further damage, which may result in the loss of your tooth. The sooner you treat it the better.
Δ Why my dentist referred me to the Endodontist?
If your general dentist referred you to an Endodontist specialist, it is because your dentist believes your case requires the expertise of a specialized Endodontist and wants you to receive the best possible treatment with the best possible outcome.
Δ Is retreatment of root canal painful?
This endodontic treatment is performed under local anesthesia and therefor root canal retreatment is almost completely painless. Fortunately, due to developments in the field of Endodontics, also the post treatment pain and swellings belong to the past. Most patients recover fast and well from this treatment.
Δ What is the success rate of root canal retreatment?
The anatomic complexity of root canals varies from one person to the other and may be the cause of the reoccurring bacterial infection. Therefore, it is advisable that a root canal retreatment will be performed by a trained Endodontist who has deep understanding of the anatomic structures of the root canal.
With the aid of magnification and illumination equipment the Endodontics specialist will use his knowledge and expertise to clean the root canal and seal it properly to prevent an additional root canal treatment.
The success rate of endodontic retreatment procedures in this clinic is approximately 90%.

The Apical surgery is the last frontier in the effort to save your tooth.
Δ When is an Endodontic microsurgery necessary?
This micro-surgical procedure is necessary in cases when the risks of the root canal retreatment procedure are higher than it’s worth and in some severe cases when it is impossible to eliminate the bacterial infection with a root canal retreatment.

The purpose of an Apical surgery is to identify and block the bacterial infection from causing further damage to the tooth and gums.
Δ Why my dentist referred me to the Endodontist?
If your general dentist referred you to an Endodontist specialist, it is because your dentist believes your case requires the expertise of a specialized Endodontist.
This surgical procedure requires special micro-surgery equipment and a high craftsmanship level of a skilled surgeon who is familiar with the anatomy of root canals.
Δ Is an Endodontic microsurgery painful?
