Dr. Breig will establish whether you need root canal re-treatment during an examination. This includes imaging of your mouth with our low-radiation cone beam CT scanner, which renders 3D x-ray images. He will ensure you have a pain free procedure and utilize sedation techniques if needed. Then he’ll reopen the tooth to access and remove the gutta percha filling from your original root canal treatment. Following this, he’ll do a thorough cleaning and reshaping inside your root canals using a specialized microscope to ensure no infection remains. Finally, Dr. Breig will replace the inside of the tooth and seal up the crown. Afterward he’ll coordinate your final restoration(s) with your general dentist.
Through microscope technology and his own exacting methods, Dr. Breig can help you live pain-free again with a newly repaired, fully functional tooth. Don’t let a failed root canal hinder you any longer! Come to Lutz Endodontics.
