Why Choose Our Emergency & After-Hours Care
Root canal therapy used to be a complex, surgical procedure. Today, it is as routine as a filling. Advances in technology and procedure techniques allow root canals to be performed efficiently, gently, and comfortably.
Non-Surgical Root Canal Retreatment
Sometimes, a previously treated tooth may require retreatment due to:
- A cracked tooth allowing bacteria to re-enter
- Persistent infection not resolved during the first procedure
Non-Surgical Root Canal Retreatment
Retreatment involves reopening the tooth, removing any remaining infection, cleaning, disinfecting, and resealing the canals. This allows you to save the tooth and restore oral health with minimal discomfort.
Benefits:
- Relief from pain
- Preservation of your natural tooth
- Removal of infection
- Prevention of further dental problems
Are you a Good Candidate?

Frequently Asked Questions:
Does root canal therapy hurt
No. Local anesthetic ensures a comfortable procedure. Post-treatment discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
Can I eat before and after treatment?
Yes. Eat normally before your appointment. After treatment, wait until the numbness wears off and avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods while temporary fillings remain.
How long is recovery?
Discomfort typically peaks within 4–5 days and gradually decreases. Recovery varies per individual and the condition of the tooth.
Is extraction better than a root canal?
No. Saving your natural tooth avoids future complications with surrounding teeth and jawbone. Root canal therapy is the preferred option whenever possible.
