Retreatment of Failed Root Canals in Chennai
When a previous root canal treatment doesn’t heal as expected, advanced retreatment of failed root canals in Chennai at Smile and Glow offers a second chance to save your natural tooth.
What is Retreatment of Failed Root Canals
When a previous root canal treatment fails or starts showing symptoms again—such as pain, swelling, or persistent infection—retreatment becomes necessary. This process involves reopening the tooth, removing the old filling materials (like gutta-percha and sealers), and thoroughly cleaning, shaping, and disinfecting the canal system anew. Advanced imaging and magnification (such as a microscope) help the endodontist locate hidden or calcified canals, fractures, or voids missed earlier.
Once cleaned, the canals are refilled with fresh, biocompatible material and sealed securely, and the tooth is restored with a new crown or filling to prevent reinfection. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth and eliminate infection without resorting to extraction.
At Smile and Glow, we provide Microscopic Retreatment of Failed Root Canals in Chennai, combining deep expertise with high-resolution microscopes and modern tools to ensure accurate diagnosis, complete disinfection, and lasting results.

Why Does a Root Canal Treated Tooth Develop Pain or Fail to Heal?
A root canal treatment may not always succeed in the first attempt. Common reasons include:
- Missed Canals – Undetected or untreated canals during the initial procedure can harbor infection.
- Incomplete Sealing – If the canal is not properly cleaned or sealed, bacteria may re-enter and cause reinfection.
- Delayed Crown Placement – Postponing a crown or permanent restoration allows saliva and food particles to contaminate the tooth.
- Curved or Complex Canals – If not thoroughly negotiated and cleaned, infection can persist in hard-to-reach areas.

Testimonials
What Our Patients Says
Every time I visit smile and glow, I get a warm welcome and they explain in detail how they’re going to proceed with the treatment. I have been coming to them for the last 17years and they never fail to impress me with the quality of service and treatment procedures. The main dental treatment I would like to highlight is the 2 Root canal treatment including crown that was done over a decade ago and is still perfectly intact.
