A failed or recurring dental issue in a previously treated tooth can be both frustrating and painful. Root canal retreatment in South Jordan, UT, offers a solution. This procedure involves removing the old filling material, disinfecting the root canals again and sealing the area to restore oral health and comfort. It is often the preferred choice for young adults and adults seeking to preserve their natural teeth without turning to more invasive treatments.
Our dentists and team use advanced diagnostic tools and modern equipment to ensure retreatment is thorough, precise and as comfortable as possible. We prioritize a calming experience, especially for patients who experience dental anxiety.
How Retreatment is Performed

- Our team removes the old root canal filling and cleans the area using advanced tools.
