Sometimes, a tooth that’s had previous root canal treatment becomes reinfected or fails to heal as expected. Our advanced training and equipment allow us to manage these complex re-root canal cases, including:
We’ll thoroughly assess your tooth, explain the reasons for failure, and discuss all available options, including whether retreatment is the best approach. Even if some obstructions can’t be removed, retreatment can still be successful, and we’ll always tailor our plan to your individual needs.

If both initial root canal treatment and retreatment have failed, an apicectomy may be considered. This minor surgical procedure involves accessing the tip of the tooth root through the gum and removing the infected tissue, giving the tooth a final chance for healing. We’ll carefully assess whether this is the right option for you, based on your specific case.
Book an appointmentOur clinicians have postgraduate qualifications and a special interest in endodontics, using the latest evidence-based protocols and technology – including dental microscopes – for enhanced precision and outcomes.
We routinely manage difficult root canals, including teeth with previous failed treatment, posts, fractured files, blockages, or unusual anatomy.
Many local dentists trust us to provide advanced root canal care for their patients, including re-root canal treatment and apicectomy procedures.
From initial assessment to final restoration, we guide you through every step, ensuring your comfort and the long-term success of your treatment.
Teeth that have had crowns or posts placed can still be treated. We have the tools and experience to remove posts if needed, or to plan alternative approaches if removal isn’t possible. Our priority is always to save your tooth wherever feasible and to restore it for long-term strength and function.
No. We use effective local anaesthesia so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Absolutely. We’re a trusted centre for advanced root canal care in the region.
Back teeth often benefit from a crown or onlay to reduce the risk of fracture and restore strength.
Routine cases may take one appointment; complex or re-root canal cases may require two or more visits for optimal cleaning and healing.
If root canal treatment isn’t possible, extraction is the main alternative. We’ll discuss options for replacing missing teeth, such as implants or bridges.
Previous treatment may fail due to complex anatomy, missed canals, reinfection, or restoration issues. Retreatment gives your tooth a second chance.

Success rates are typically above 85%, and our advanced approach is designed to maximise your chances.

Yes! We welcome direct bookings and referrals from other dentists for advanced root canal care.
Your journey starts with a detailed assessment by a dentist with a special interest in endodontics. We’ll review your dental history, take digital images, and discuss your symptoms and options.
Treatment may be completed in a single visit or may require multiple appointments, depending on the complexity of your case. We use advanced techniques and equipment to ensure the best possible outcome.
After treatment, we’ll review your healing and advise on the best way to restore your tooth (often a crown or onlay). If you were referred by another dentist, we’ll provide a full report and send you back for ongoing care.
