Endodontic Retreatment in Daphne, AL

While root canal therapy is often successful in treating infected or damaged tooth pulp, sometimes issues can arise that require additional attention. These include cases when the treated tooth fails to heal properly or when the infection returns. For those situations, Dr. Tres Manasco and our team at Eastern Shore Endodontics offer endodontic retreatment. Also known as root canal retreatment, this procedure provides another opportunity to save your natural tooth when you're dealing with issues after a root canal. If you are dealing with pain or swelling after a root canal, or if your treated tooth is showing signs of wear, contact our office in Daphne, AL to learn if root canal retreatment can help.

We'll numb the area before starting your endodontic retreatment to ensure you're comfortable throughout the procedure. We're also happy to discuss nitrous oxide sedation for patients who struggle with dental anxiety. When you're prepared, Dr. Manasco will reopen the tooth, remove the previous filling material, and thoroughly clean and disinfect the area to the root tips. Once he's finished, he'll fill the tooth and seal it off. In same cases, he may also install a crown or bridge to strengthen the tooth, preventing further damage. The procedure usually takes 1 – 2 hours to complete, depending on the health of your tooth and how complex the infection is. Most patients experience mild to moderate pain after root canal retreatment, which can be managed at home with over-the-counter painkillers. Endodontic retreatment can be performed multiple times if necessary, though you may have increased sensitivity afterward.

If a previous root canal treatment doesn't fully heal or complications develop, endodontic retreatment at Eastern Shore Endodontics can help resolve the issue. By addressing these problems quickly, we can prevent further infection, protect surrounding teeth, and restore your oral health. This treatment offers several key benefits, including:

  • Restoring your tooth's function and structure
  • Preventing the spread of dental infection
  • Reduces the risk of more invasive or complex treatments in the future
  • Can help preserve your natural tooth, avoiding extractions or implants

From my scheduling my appointment to the actual procedure was simply amazing. Very friendly and courteous staff. My procedure was the morning it started snowing and they were so concerned with making sure I made it home safely because I had driven from Mobile. Dr. Manasco and his dental assistant Ashleigh bed side manners was 10/10. I did not feel anything and experienced little to no pain after my procedure. If you’re in need of Endodontic Treatment I highly recommend Dr. Manasco and his Staff at Easternshore Endodontic.
