🔍 What Is Multi-rooted Root Canal Retreatment?

This procedure involves reopening a previously treated tooth—typically a molar with multiple roots—to remove lingering bacteria, decay, or improperly sealed canals. Using CBCT scans, microscopes, and ultrasonic tools, our endodontic team thoroughly cleans the root system, disinfects the area, and reseals it to prevent future infections. It’s a precise, delicate treatment that can save your natural tooth and avoid costly extractions or implants.
