Dentistry on Duncan Mill provides root canal retreatment in North York, ON for teeth where a previous root canal has failed or become reinfected.

Quick Summary
Root canal retreatment is necessary when a tooth that previously received root canal therapy develops new symptoms of infection or pain. This can happen if a canal was missed during the original treatment, new decay created a pathway for bacteria, or the crown was delayed and the seal broke down. At Dentistry on Duncan Mill in North York, we remove the existing filling material, thoroughly reclean and reshape the canals, and reseal the tooth. With modern techniques, retreatment has a high rate of success.
We review your previous treatment records and take updated X-rays to identify the source of failure or ongoing infection.
The existing crown or filling is accessed and the old root canal filling material is carefully removed from all canals.
All canals are meticulously cleaned, disinfected, and reshaped. Any previously missed canals are identified and treated.
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed, and a new crown is recommended to protect the tooth going forward.
