Endodontic Retreatment
Hatboro, Doylestown, and Ardmore PA

With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed.

Are you experiencing tooth pain? Please call us for more information or to schedule a consult at our Hatboro Office: Hatboro Phone Number 215-674-5383, our Doylestown Office: 215-348-0727, or our Ardmore Office: Ardmore Phone Number 610-649-5235.

Improper healing may be caused by:

  • Curved or narrow canals that were not treated during the initial treatment.
  • Complicated canals that went undetected during the initial treatment.
  • The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
  • The crown or restoration that did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.

In some cases, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:

  • New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
  • A cracked or loose filling or crown can expose the tooth to new infection.

Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, the doctors will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. This restorative material will be removed to enable access to the root canal. The doctors will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth.

At this point, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.

Dr. Ufberg is so awesome! I had my initial consult with X-rays and the first of two procedures with him. He throughly explained what he's going to do at each visit. Based on my experience so far, I recommend him and his staff at Pennsylvania Endodontic Specialist!

Dr Larry was amazing. He identified the problem immediately. Spoke about options, saving tooth vs extraction. He was very honest and recommended the latter. The tooth was most likely not able to be saved. A root canal would most definitely have led to an extraction. The staff was amazing got us in to an oral surgeon the same day. Highly recommend PES!

I recently had 2 root canal retreatment's and Kathy was incredibly helpful with all the questions I had and very friendly with myself and other patients I saw her interact with. Dr Aczon was very thorough explaining everything, had a very likable personality and I had minimal pain the next day. He called me back when I had a concern in a timely manner and was honestly the best Dr that has ever worked on my teeth and I have had a ton of different dentists over the years. I can't recommend this place enough hopefully I never need another root canal but if I do I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr. Ufberg is a really great endontist.. He is funny, honest, knowledgeable, and he explains his decisions and what that a tions that will translate to for the patient. He is supported by the nicest coworkers. The people at the front desk, the x-ray technician, and the people you make an appointment with comprise a stellar group of individuals who probably see a lot of us not at our best because, let’s face it, if you have to see them, you are in a little bit of pain. Yet, they make it all less scary and manageable.

I had retreatment of a root canal today with Dr. Aczon and Syl. I had a bit of anxiety going into the procedure. I was quickly reassured that everything was going to be okay. I can honestly say, that I have never had a more professional, gentle, and caring team work on my mouth. I felt comfortable and cared about the entire time. They eased any nervous feelings I had right from the start. I knew I was in capable hands and that they would help me through any problems that would arise, although there were none! I was also greeted by a very kind lady as I checked in and checked out. I had a very positive experience from the time I called the office to make the appointment until the time I walked out after my procedure. I highly recommend this practice!

I love this office and the staff. They are so caring and professional. You feel comfortable even though you are at the dentist. I have had to come to PES before for root canal and follow up and now that I will be changing my insurance due to retirement I am making sure I will select an insurance that allows me to come to PES if necessary. They are awesome.

I would like to compliment all of the staff and the doctor. The doctor explained to me exactly what was going on and how he would go about solving my problem. I felt no pain and the doctor gave me the best needles I have ever received. He explained what he was doing during the procedure and made me as comfortable as possible. Even though I was the last appointment on a Friday afternoon. no one seemed like they were rushing me out the door. I would like to recognize the staff at the Hatboro office on Friday afternoon December 16th. Thank you all for providing excellent service.

Seven years ago, I had a root canal done by a dentist who (I later discovered) was not vey competent. That tooth had been giving me problems off and on. That is why I went to Dr Kirsch last week. He is a thorough professional, very competent, has tons of experience and is extremely user-friendly. All the procedures involved were explained very lucidly and carried out dexterously. The staff and dental assistants too were very pleasant and knew their jobs.
