Frequently Asked Questions

A root canal re-treatment is a second procedure on a tooth that did not heal properly after the first root canal. It removes the old filling, cleans the canals, and reseals the tooth.

Retreatment is needed when complications or a new infection develop after the original root canal. Your dentist will examine the tooth to confirm whether retreatment is required.

Retreatment procedures have a high success rate and often save the natural tooth. Your dentist will discuss your specific prognosis at the visit.

If the tooth cannot be retreated, extraction followed by a bridge or denture is an alternative. Your dentist will help you choose the best option.

Infinite Dental Wellness in Glendale offers root canal retreatment. Our USC-trained dentists also handle same-day dental emergencies.
