Endodontic Retreatment
With proper care, teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal, or the pain may persist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed.
Improper healing can have several causes; however, the most important thing to keep in mind is that if a root canal fails, endodontic retreatment can resolve the issue, alleviate any pain, and still save your natural tooth. At Rancho Endodontics, we have provided endodontic retreatment near you for three decades using the latest techniques to ensure success and patient comfort.
How long does a retreatment of a root canal take?
At Rancho Endodontics, most retreatments are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and the complexity of the case. Because our specialists use high-powered microscopes and advanced 3D imaging, we can identify and treat issues with greater precision. This means fewer visits, less time in the chair, and a smoother overall experience.
How common are failed root canals?
Root canals are highly successful procedures, but sometimes a tooth doesn’t heal as expected, or new problems, such as hidden canals or fresh decay, develop over time. These situations are not unusual, and they don’t mean the original treatment was performed poorly. Our team at Rancho Endodontics has decades of combined experience addressing these exact challenges, and we’ve successfully retreated countless teeth that patients thought were beyond saving.

Is retreatment better than extraction?
Whenever possible, saving your natural tooth is the healthiest option. Natural teeth offer superior function, appearance, and bite stability compared to replacements. At Rancho Endodontics, retreatment is often the best path to preserving your tooth and protecting your overall oral health. Extraction is considered only after every effort has been made to keep your tooth, and our specialists excel at giving teeth a second chance.
How Can We Help You Restore Your Smile?

Dr. Roe carefully explained all my options, their positives and negatives, and potential outcomes. I was very impressed with her caring attitude and even though my tooth was not salvageable, I felt confident that I had all the information that I needed moving forward.

Patient Review by Kathie G
My dentist was out of town at a convention but recommended the office to me - they literally opened their doors and got me in to the Dr. immediately. I was in tremendous pain - so they treated that first then worked on my tooth that was very inflamed. Beautiful office, great customer service and fantastic bedside manner by Dr. Silberman was absolutely wonderful. Thank you to the entire office for making me feel much better.

Dr Silberman is amazing! He took great care in explaining everything he was going to do, and explained why he was going to do it. He made the procedure as pain-free as he could, and took time to make sure that I was comfortable thru the entire procedure. Lots of professionalism throughout the staff. Thank you so much.

Patient Review by Chris C
Rancho Endodontics is a wonderful place for treatment. I was an extremely nervous patient due to a bad experience in the past. Dr. Roe and Leah were SO understanding. They explained everything to me. During the procedure they would asked how I was doing and give me updates as to where we were in the process. It was the BEST retreat root canal ever!!!! A great big THANK YOU to Dr. Roe and Leah for making this procedure such a comfortable experience!!!

Patient Review by Diane C
Going to the dentist has never been something I have looked forward to, and having a root canal is definitely not at the top of my list of social activities for warm and fuzzy feelings. I have had several root canals done over the years, and Dr. Silberman and his staff have been the absolute best! The root canal Dr. Silberman did for me was complicated because of canals that were hidden and calcified which made them very difficult to find. He spent a lot of time being very thorough and as gentle as can be during these types of procedures; patient comfort is at the top of their list, and it is obvious he and his entire staff love what they are doing. My regular dentist referred me to Dr. Silberman as he said he is the best at what he does, and I must agree..he is absolutely the best! I am so thankful to have a great dentist and a terrific endodontic team. THANK YOU!!!

Patient Review by Curt S
Dr. Silberman was very comforting and personable to me, he explained my treatment options very clearly. There was no pressure to rush into the treatment and I was encouraged to think about the treatment and consult with my wife and dentist. He was very honest and forthright. I would recommend him to anyone who needs that type of dental help.

Patient Review by Luis E
This was my first time here. Was referred by Dr. Witek, my normal dentist. You guys were wonderful all the way around! Very nice facility, little tricky to find however, Super friendly staff, I ask a lot of questions and Dr. Petterson was very pleased to answer them. To be quite honest, this procedure was easier that the normal crown procedure. I've already recommended you'all to my daughter so you'll be seeing here shortly!! Do I get a referral fee?? haha!
