Three steps to root canal retreatment:
Step 1
Our endodontist will re-open the tooth to gain access to the root canal space. Any previous crown, post, or filling may need to be removed to gain access.
Step 2

Step 3
After cleaning the canals within the tooth (using PIPS in combination with the ER: YAG Laser) our endodontist will fill and seal the canals, placing a temporary filling in the tooth.
