Best Root Canal Dentist in Virginia Beach | Effective Retreatment Care
Sometimes, a tooth that has already had a root canal may not heal as expected. When this happens, root canal retreatment is performed to remove the old filling material, clean the canals again, and restore the tooth properly. The process is very similar to a standard root canal but involves reopening the tooth and correcting the areas that did not heal.
At Kempsville Dental, our experienced team uses advanced technology to ensure your retreatment is precise, comfortable, and highly effective. Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option—and retreatment can often protect the tooth for many years.
What Is Root Canal Retreatment?
Root canal retreatment is performed when a previously treated tooth does not heal properly. The procedure involves removing the existing crown and filling material, cleaning the root canals thoroughly, and sealing them again to eliminate reinfection.
Why Is Root Canal Retreatment Needed?
A tooth may require retreatment if:
  • highlight iconA crack in the crown allows bacteria inside
  • highlight iconNarrow or curved canals were missed during the first procedure
  • highlight iconThe final crown was delayed after the original root canal
  • highlight iconNew decay develops around the treated tooth
  • highlight iconSaliva contamination occurs
  • highlight iconA fracture forms in the tooth
  • highlight iconThe tooth contains complex or hidden canal structures
Even with high success rates for root canals, these issues can sometimes prevent complete healing. Retreatment gives the tooth a second chance.
