Endodontic Retreatment | Carson City, NV
Carson City Endodontics, Dr. Lingard or Dr. Pittel
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth.
Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment.
If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed.
Improper healing may be caused by:
- Curved or narrow canals that were not treated during the initial treatment.
- Complicated canals that went undetected during the initial treatment.
- The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
- The crown or restoration that did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.
Are You Suffering From Pain After An Endodontic Procedure?
Inflamed Tissue
Filling Removed
Canals Cleaned
Root Material Placed
Filling Restored
Healed Tooth
In some cases, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:
- New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
- A cracked or loose filling or crown can expose the tooth to new infection.
Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, the doctors will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. This restorative material will be removed to enable access to the root canal.
The doctors will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth.
At this point, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.

Patient Review By Theresa R
I was very pleased with my service. My tooth was being very difficult and I kept feeling pain throughout my procedure and he was very good about stopping and taking care of it before he moved on. I have a very low pain tolerance so I appreciated his attention to that very much.

Patient Review By Dennis J
My root canal went as good as it could possibly have gone. There was absolutely no pain. Even getting the shot to numb my teeth was only a little uncomfortable. The doctor seemed to be very careful and precise. I am very pleased with every aspect of the treatment.

Patient Review By Mike C
Absolutely no pain or discomfort during the root canal procedure. Even the anastetic injections were only a very slight pinch. That barely lasted a second. The procedure was complete in a very short time. Results are excellent.
