Endodontic Retreatment
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, we may need to perform Endodontic Retreatment.
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.
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.
Endodontic Associates of Marlboro Reviews
I was very nervous going in to have two teeth pulled and two implants put in. I have never had an implant and I was so nervous. Dr Rafla you are such a wonderful dentist. You are kind, caring, knowledgeable, friendly, and you have a way about you that calmed me down. You also have a wonderful sense of humor. I must admit it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If I ever need another implant, I know I will be just fine. Your staff is also so wonderful, caring, helpful and friendly. If anyone I know ever needs an implant, I will definitely recommend you and your staff. Thank you Dr Rafla .
I had a double implant, and it went well. Dr. Rafla and staff answered all my questions and were supportive,
When it comes to taking care of your dental health I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Dr. Akram Rafla. He is truly at the top of his field. His attention to detail, professionalism, and level of care are unmatched. He clearly takes pride in his work, and it shows in every step of the process. I felt confident and comfortable the entire time, and the results exceeded my expectations. I wouldn’t trust my teeth with anyone else.
I had a very informative conversation with Laura. She was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding my concerns and options. Wonderful to work with.
Dr Akram Rafla and his team were great from the greeting at the front desk to my departure out the door. He took the time to talk to me and explained all my options. No pressure from the staff or doctor. This office is a breath of fresh air in the never ending maze of taking charge of your health. Thank you!
