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
I had an outstanding experience at this office from start to finish. Scheduling my root canal treatment was seamless, thanks to Joy, who was incredibly nice, friendly and attentive. Since I live nearly two hours away, she made sure everything was perfectly arranged before my visit. Elisa was wonderful, offering warm, friendly and great support throughout the process.Dr. Scott is truly exceptional—his expertise, patience, and care made a huge difference. The entire team answered all my questions with patience and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. If you need a root canal treatment, this is the place to go!
Dr. Scott did a root canal for me today. Best dental procedure in my life! A little background on me and dental work, I haven’t had the best experiences and have a history of being difficult to get numb. Dr. Scott was awesome! I didn’t feel one ounce of pain. He is a complete professional and focused on doing a perfect job. He found a crack in my tooth no else told me about. The temp filling even covered the gap between teeth that has been trapping food, which I never told him about. He just instinctively knew to do the best job was to fill that gap. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Scott!!!
Great experience all around- they were able to squeeze me in for evaluation because I was having pain and get me scheduled to get it fixed. The root canal was completely painless and I was in and out within 45mins.

Had a root canal today and was SCHOCKED to get a text tonight from Dr. Shapiro doing followup and checking to see if I was ok. Can you believe that. - to get a proactive communication from a doctor or dentist checking to see if I was ok! There is no higher level of service that you could ever want. The procedure itself went very smoothly and Dr. Shapiro answered all my questions. I highly recommend this practice!

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.
