Who may be a good candidate

Signs retreatment may be worth considering

Not every previously treated tooth should be retreated, but many can be. The key question is whether the tooth remains restorable and whether there is a clear clinical reason to believe another attempt can improve the outcome.

Symptoms

Pain that returned after a prior root canal

Some teeth become symptomatic again because infection persisted in difficult anatomy or reentered through a leaking restoration.

  • Recurring pain or pressure when chewing
  • Lingering tenderness in a previously treated tooth
  • Intermittent flare ups months or years later
Clinical findings

A tooth that still has a realistic restorative future

Retreatment makes the most sense when the tooth structure, periodontal support, and restorative plan still give the tooth a practical chance to function long term.

  • Persistent infection around the root tip on imaging
  • A prior crown or filling that may have leaked over time
  • Anatomy or prior treatment details that can likely be improved
Referral reasons

A previous root canal that deserves a specialist review

Your general dentist may refer you when the diagnosis is unclear, when symptoms do not match the X rays well, or when advanced technology is needed to decide whether retreatment or another option makes the most sense.

  • Missed canal suspicion or complex anatomy
  • Calcification, posts, or restorative obstacles
  • A tooth you hope to save if there is a predictable path forward

Fee transparency

Simple guidance for fees, insurance, and payment timing

We believe patients should understand fees clearly before moving forward with care. Our comprehensive evaluation is $300 and includes diagnostics and 3D imaging. After Dr. Dreyer reviews your case, treatment fees are discussed in full so there are no surprise charges.

Treatment fees usually begin at about $1,000. Because of the unique nature of the practice and the time devoted to each patient, the office is an out of network provider. Fees are due at the time of treatment. If you have dental insurance, the office can submit a claim so your insurance company may reimburse you directly according to your plan.
