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
Dr. Shapiro is an amazing Endodontic specialist. He has great demeanor, is very patient oriented, cares about your well being.I highly recommend Dr. Shapiro to anyone looking for a top root canal specialist.
This place is amazing. I went in and within 45 minutes I was out. I didn’t feel pain. I had other root canals done in other places that took four hours. and I felt pain .but this place is outstanding. I gotta go back for another root canal and I know I’m not gonna feel no pain cause I already know how good they are
Dr. Odierna and his staff were wonderful! The anticipation of getting a root canal was much worse than the actual procedure. He explained everything and put me at ease. He has an excellent chair-side manner.
Went in on an emergency appointment for evaluation on a molar ended up getting a root canal which was done by Dr Scott. While I’m not nuts about dental visits, I have to say that this man certainly knows what he’s doing. Within 20 minutes of being in the chair, my pain was gone, and he was taking care of business. Now two days later I am still pain free and moving on with life. Very happy to have found this wonderful place. Thank you Dr.Scott!!!!
Today, May 13, I went in for a root canal. I was a bit nervous to begin with. BUT…from the moment Sura called me back, she started explaining everything that was going to happen throughout the whole appointment. Then the Doctor, Randolph Scott D.D.S. came in He was AMAZING as well. He also explained everything first and then did his job very well. They both made me feel so comfortable and before I knew it they were done. He and Sura told me that I would be sore. It’s almost been since the appointment, over eight hours and I have ZERO soreness, not even where he injected me. I have already recommended W MA Endo and I will continue to refer people. A VERY BIG SHOUT OUT TO SURA AND DOCTOR SCOTT! The best dental experience I’ve ever had by far! Thank you

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.
