OVERVIEW OF TREATMENT
Quite a few things may result in additional problems following a root canal therapy. Sometimes the entire problem wasn't eliminated during therapy and in different cases, a new infection might have developed in the tooth. After the tooth demonstrates signs of disease again, our team of endodontic specialists will normally recommend an endodontic retreatment.
COMMON REASONS FOR RETREATMENT

• Abscess or other signs of disease still present following a root canal
• Recurring discomfort or pain in the tooth that received root canal therapy
• Accessory canals were not detected during the initial root canal procedure
• Failure to have a crown or other dental restoration placed in a timely manner following initial root canal treatment
Western Mass Endo Reviews
Today’s procedure ( osseous surgery ) was no different than my other dental procedures at Western Ma. Perio. I was nervous & Dr. Salzmann provided the reassurance!He is genuinely compassionate , caring & professional. Dr. Salzmann & his entire team provide exceptional skilled services…talking you through each step of the procedure. If there is an award for exceptional performance, it should be presented to Dr. Salzmann ! Thank you .
I recently had a procedure done at Western Mass Endodontics with Dr. Shapiro, and I felt it was worth taking a moment to share my experience.Like many people, I went in with some hesitation given the nature of the procedure. However, Dr. Shapiro handled everything with a level of care and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was how seamless and virtually painless the process was, particularly the injections, which are usually the part most people dread.He took the time on the front end to answer questions thoroughly, and just as importantly, made sure everything was addressed afterward as well. That kind of attention to detail and follow-through is not something you see every day. The same goes for the follow-up later that day, which really speaks to the level of commitment to patient care.The office staff was equally professional and supportive throughout the entire visit, which made a noticeable difference in the overall experience.I don’t tend to be easily impressed, but this was one of those situations where it felt warranted. If you find yourself needing this type of care, you’re in very good hands here.Thank you! John
Very talented surgeons and dentists; not friendly to people who have severe medical phobias.
Fastest most efficient route canal I have ever seen. The staff was great , the Dr is top notch. I highly recommend this place.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience today at Western MA Endodontics. I called in severe pain and they got me in right away, which I am so grateful for.From the moment I walked in, every single person I interacted with was incredible, the receptionist, the tech, the staff who helped get me in, and especially the doctor. As someone with anxiety, dental visits can be really overwhelming, but the doctor truly made me feel at ease. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and genuinely meant it, took the time to explain everything clearly, and was incredibly kind, patient, and calming throughout the entire procedure.The root canal itself was fast and painless, which honestly shocked me in the best way. On top of that, they even followed up with a text afterward to check on me. You just don’t see that level of care and customer service very often anymore.If you’re nervous about dental work or just want to be treated with real compassion and professionalism, I highly recommend Western MA Endodontics. They truly went above and beyond.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS

If endodontic retreatment isn’t ideal, our specialists may recommend additional procedures to treat the condition and save your oral health:
• Apicoectomy
• Tooth extraction
Your endodontic retreatment procedure will be done in our office using anesthesia to temporarily numb the needed region. In the event the process is lengthy or if you have dental worries, stronger sedation choices might be used. As soon as you are prepared, one of our specialists will open the tooth and then take out the filling substance placed in the last process. The inside of the tooth, especially each of the root tips, will be completely disinfected. Once the tooth is cleaned and analyzed, it'll be fortified with a new temporary filling and then sealed.
A new restoration (crown, filling, or bridge) is then normally placed on the treated tooth by your general dentist to protect and strengthen the tooth structure.
