Why should I choose Endodontic Associates of Georgia for my endodontic retreatment for failed root canal therapy?
At Endodontics Associates of Georgia, we are dedicated to treating severe or deep tooth infections. Experience, as they say, is the best teacher. After performing countless endodontic procedures, we have honed our skills. We also leverage the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to ensure patient comfort, safety, and exceptional results.
How does a root canal fail, and how can endodontic retreatment help restore oral health and wellness?
Root canal therapy is known for its high success rate, saving millions of teeth annually. However, each patient is unique, and so is their individual dental experience. There might be instances where anatomical characteristics like curved, narrow, or complicated canals go unnoticed and untreated. If symptoms persist, these canals can be specifically isolated and remedied to eradicate the infection entirely and restore tooth health.
At times, a tooth might get re-infected. That is also why regular check-ups are crucial. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential to prevent tooth decay or gum disease, which could lead to further damage. It’s also essential to see your dentist as early as possible to have a crown placed on the treated tooth, safeguarding it against reinfection. The previously preserved tooth could be lost if the damage is too extensive.
Will my retreatment take?
We find great success in endodontic retreatment, but poor oral hygiene and trauma to the mouth may impact the final results. We recommend an initial evaluation with our doctors to determine if endodontic retreatment or extraction is best for you.
Who can I contact for endodontic retreatment in the state of Georgia?
