What Is Endodontic Surgery?
Endodontic surgery is a special area of dental care that deals with problems inside the tooth and the tissues around it. Sometimes, surgery is needed if regular treatments are not enough to fix the issue.
The main goal of endodontic surgery is to save your natural tooth by treating infection, inflammation, or other problems that could harm your oral health.
Why Endodontic Surgery May Be Needed
Most teeth heal well with standard treatment, but sometimes surgery is the best option.
Endodontic surgery may be recommended for:
- Persistent symptoms following previous treatment
- An infection that has returned after root canal therapy
- Hidden anatomy that could not be treated previously
- Tooth fractures affecting internal structures
- Damage caused by decay
- Inflammation surrounding the tooth root
- Situations where preserving the natural tooth remains possible
Each patient is different, so Contemporary Endodontics takes time to review every case before suggesting any treatment.
Endodontic Retreatment
Most root canal treatments work very well. Still, sometimes a tooth can have new issues months or even years later.
Reinfection may occur because of:
- New decay
- Hidden canals or complex anatomy
- Cracks or fractures
- Breakdown of previous restorations
- Delayed placement of final restorations
If this happens, endodontic retreatment can help bring the tooth back to good health and function.
At Contemporary Endodontics, we work hard to solve these problems and help you keep your natural teeth whenever we can. Retreatment aims to remove infection and give your tooth another chance to stay healthy and useful.
