A Second Chance to Save Your Tooth
When a previous root canal fails or infection persists, re-root canal treatment (retreatment) cleans and reseals the canal system to give your natural tooth another chance before considering extraction.

Honest Guidance if Retreatment Isn't Advisable
Why did my root canal fail?
Common causes include missed canals, new decay, a cracked tooth, or a loose/leaking crown that let bacteria back in
Is retreatment as effective as the first RCT?
Retreatment has a high success rate, though it can be slightly lower than a first-time root canal depending on the cause of failure.
What if retreatment doesn't work?
If retreatment isn't viable, we discuss options honestly, including surgical retreatment or, as a last resort, extraction with replacement.
