What is a root canal, and is it painful?
A root canal is a procedure designed to remove infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside your tooth, relieve pain, and save the natural tooth from extraction. At ReGen Endodontics, our board-certified endodontists use local anesthesia to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure. With the help of our Zeiss operating microscopes and 3D CBCT imaging, we can perform treatment with exceptional precision and minimal disruption to healthy tooth structure. Most patients experience almost instant relief from the pain that brought them in, and the procedure itself is far more comfortable than many people expect.
When would I need root canal retreatment?
Root canal retreatment may be necessary if a previously treated tooth fails to heal properly, develops new symptoms, or becomes reinfected months or even years after the original procedure. This can occur due to untreated or hidden canals, new decay around the restoration, or a compromised seal that allows bacteria to re-enter the tooth. At ReGen Endodontics, our specialists use advanced CBCT imaging and microscopic endodontics to identify the source of the problem, thoroughly clean and disinfect the canals, and reseal the tooth to give it the best possible chance at long-term success.
