Gentle retreatment.
Thoughtful results

Sometimes a tooth that has already been treated with a root canal can develop new issues, such as hidden bacteria, a fracture, or incomplete healing. Rather than losing your natural tooth, endodontic retreatment offers the opportunity to correct these concerns with advanced techniques and preserve your smile.

Our board-certified specialists perform modern Arlington endodontic retreatment using detailed 3D CBCT imaging, laser-assisted cleaning, and microsurgical tools to remove infection with exceptional precision.

Endodontic Retreatment FAQs

K

Why does a tooth need retreatment?

Sometimes a small canal was missed, a crack has developed, or new decay has allowed bacteria to re-enter the tooth. Retreatment helps remove this lingering infection and gives your tooth a renewed chance at long-term health.

Can retreatment really save my tooth?

In many cases, yes. Retreatment can extend the life of your natural tooth and help you avoid extraction. Our team will evaluate your case carefully and explain whether it’s the best path forward.

What if retreatment doesn’t work?

If symptoms persist after retreatment, endodontic surgery (like an apicoectomy) may still allow us to save the tooth. We’ll walk you through every option with clarity and care.

How long does retreatment take?

Usually one or two visits, depending on how complex the tooth’s condition is. Each step is planned carefully to ensure thorough cleaning and healing.

Will my insurance cover retreatment?

Most PPO dental plans cover Arlington endodontic retreatment similarly to a first root canal; we’ll verify your benefits ahead of time and go over everything with you before scheduling.

What are the signs I might need retreatment?

You may need retreatment if you experience pain or sensitivity in a tooth that has already had a root canal. Other signs include swelling, tenderness when biting, or the appearance of a pimple-like bump on the gums. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to take a look and offer guidance.

What to expect at retreatment

  • We’ll begin with a 3D CBCT scan to thoroughly assess the tooth and detect any missed canals or infection.
  • Local anesthesia and sedation options are available to keep you comfortable and relaxed throughout treatment.
  • Laser-assisted tools are used to help fully disinfect the canals and remove bacteria more effectively.
  • Before treatment begins, we’ll walk you through your options, answer your questions, and provide a clear cost estimate.

Hear from our patients

“I was sent to Dr. Nicholas Leon-Guerrero for a root canal and I’m so glad I listened to my dentist. I was worried it was going to hurt, but he explained everything before starting and made sure I was numb and comfortable. It was done quicker than I expected and by that night I was already feeling back to normal. I wish all dental visits were this smooth.”

“I saw Dr. Yeh for a root canal and she was so gentle I didn’t feel a thing. I had been losing sleep over this for days, but it went so much better than I imagined. By dinner time I was eating like normal again. She really knows how to take care of her patients.”
“I used nitrous for my appointment at Omni Endodontics and it made a huge difference for me. I was relaxed and comfortable the whole time and didn’t feel stressed like I usually do at the dentist. The staff kept checking on me and it honestly made what I thought would be a scary procedure no big deal at all.”
“Dr. Deborah Yeh did my root canal and I can’t believe how easy she made it. I’ve had dental work before that left me sore for days, but this time I didn’t even need pain medicine afterward. She worked with so much care and still got it done in one visit. I walked in nervous and walked out relieved.”
