What is Endodontic Retreatment?
There are many factors that may result in additional issues after a root canal treatment. In some cases, the entire infection was not removed during treatment, and in other instances, a new disease might have developed in the tooth. When the tooth demonstrates signs of a disease again, our endodontic team at Memphis Endodontics will generally suggest an endodontic retreatment. Similar to the original root canal treatment, endodontic retreatment can be done to clean out the canals of the tooth and remove the current infection. In case you still have pain or signs of an infection following a root canal, schedule an exam at one of our offices in Kirby, Collierville, Bartlett, or Memphis, TN to determine if you need an endodontic retreatment or another treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Endodontic Retreatment?
Endodontic retreatment offers a second chance to save your tooth and alleviate pain without the need for extraction. Some benefits of this procedure include:
- Preserves your natural tooth structure
- Relieves pain and discomfort
- Eliminates infection and prevents further complications
- Enhances the longevity of your dental health
- Avoids the need for more complex and costly dental procedures
How Is Endodontic Retreatment Performed?
Your endodontic retreatment procedure will be done in our office using oral sedation to temporarily numb the needed region. Once you are prepared, one of our endodontic specialists — Drs. Harris, Wells, Scott, Cain, Dagen, or McCreary will reopen the tooth and remove the filling material placed during the preceding process. The interior of the tooth, including each of the tips, will be thoroughly disinfected. After the tooth is cleaned and examined, it will be strengthened with brand-new material and then sealed. A dental restoration (bridge or crown) is generally placed over the treated tooth for strength.
Memphis Endodontics Reviews
Very good experience with Memphis Endodontics. The staff is friendly, professional. Dr. Brandon Scott is very professional and knows his field and answers questions with a customer friendly demeanor. I was in very capable hands for a root canal procedure and it was painless and I felt that it is a good job done. I definitely would go back if I had any other future dental issue. Highly recommend this group. Staff is efficient and friendly helpful too.
Dr. Scott performed a root canal on my molar. His assistant, Raven, promised that the only pain would be a minor sting from the Lidocaine numbing shot. She was spot on—no pain. In and out in about an hour. No more toothache. He is a master at his craft.
Memphis Endodontics is the absolute BEST!! The front desk staff Tara and Staci will greet you with smiles and efficiency! They make the check-in process easy and work very hard to prevent duplication of paperwork. They remind you of your visit in advance and verify your insurance coverage, so there are no surprise charges on the day of treatment. Dr. Christian Cain performed services for me on two occasions and is very thorough and detailed in his work and explanations of treatment. I would recommend the East location, Mt. Moriah team for your Endodontics needs!
This was my second root canal by Bryce McCreary D.D.S. He did a fabulous job, no pain or discomfort and explained the procedure. His assistant was sweet, he never had to ask for anything. The receptionist was so nice and i thank her for getting me in so quick.
I can't believe I'm saying this I am 60 years old and this was the best experience I've ever had at a dental office. The Dentist stayed late, did my procedure that has me feeling completely improved and I can't be more appreciative of his willingness professionalism and kindness. He did my procedure today because I could not get off from work for several days. He stayed and helped me when I know he was getting ready to go home to his family. I appreciate his sacrfice for his patients.For a great dental experience, I recommend Memphis Endodontics.
