Endodontic Retreatment | Fishers IN

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.

Are You Seeking Relief from a Painful or Sensitive Tooth?

Pain in your tooth or gums may be a symptom of infected pulp. Drs. Moretton, Vail, Mintz and Corso can perform a Root Canal to treat the infected pulp, relieve pain, and save your natural teeth!

Call us: 317.570.9000

Improper healing may be caused by:

    • endodontic retreatment pre-op

Endodontic retreatment

  • Curved or narrow canals were not treated during the initial treatment.
  • Complicated canals went undetected during the initial root canal treatment.
  • The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
  • The crown or restoration did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.

In some cases, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:

    X-ray of an infected tooth in need of root canal retreatment

  • New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
  • A cracked or loose restoration can expose the tooth to new infection.

Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, Tod R Morreton, DDS, MSD, Mychel M. Vail, DDS, MSD, Caley F. Mintz, DDS, MSD and Anne M. Corso, DDS, MSD 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 Phil B

Fantastic experience with Dr. Mintz and her staff for my root canal retreat. Good impression started when I called to make the appointment. Billing and procedure explained along with what insurance covered prior to treatment in detail. Procedure went really well with Dr. Mintz and assistant explaining what they were doing throughout the procedure. Follow up call day after procedure to see how I was doing. Would highly recommend her for Endodontics.

I feel very well cared for and feel I am getting very qualified care. I do wish a retreat was once and done instead of two visits. It is hard to get excited about doing it again in a week. lol.

Patient Review by Laura C

I saw Dr. Moretton in the Noblesville office for retreatment of a previous root canal. I was very impressed with my assistant Brittany! She did an excellent job of explaining things to me and was very kind. Dr. Moretton is very professional and I was thrilled to find out that my tooth could be saved. I trust this office 100%!

Dr Mintz and the assistant were absolutely the best. For a root canal retreat on #14 , Dr Mintz brezsed through it and her gentle hands and techniques were superior. I can't say enough good about her.
