Re-Treatment

When Root Canals Don’t Heal, We Can Help

When symptoms return, you don’t have to live with the pain.If a root canal hasn’t fully healed or if new infection occurs, our endodontists can perform re-treatment. This means correcting or enhancing the original procedure to give your tooth a second chance.

Common Reasons for Re-Treatment

• New decay or infection
• Missed canals or complex anatomy
• Delayed or broken restoration
• Fractured tooth or root

How Re-Treatment Works

• Carefully reopening the tooth
• Removing old materials and cleaning the canal
• Sealing and protecting the tooth again

Advanced Diagnostics for Difficult Cases

We use advanced CBCT (Cone Beam) scanning to capture detailed 3D images of your tooth and surrounding structures. This technology helps us detect hidden canals, obstructions, or fractures often missed during initial treatment—enabling more accurate diagnosis and better treatment planning to preserve your natural tooth.

Saving Teeth That Others Might Extract

We’re a trusted second-opinion destination for patients told extraction is their only option. With advanced diagnostics, modern techniques, and specialized expertise, we often offer alternatives that save the tooth. Many are relieved to discover that re-treatment or surgical endodontics can restore function and preserve their natural smile.

“I highly recommend this office and Dr. Tismensky. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. His office staff are also very friendly and great to work with.”

Jeanne Eddy

“I recently had the need to select an endodontist. Mine had retired, and I was in need of a root canal. Dr Park turned what could've been a very scary situation into a professional, supportive treatment. I went to her blindly. I chose her from reviews and recommendations for my insurance company. The office looks more like a spa than a dental office. Her professional and bedside manner were excellent. On the consultation, she assessed the situation and laid out a plan. When the day came to execute, she followed the plan and ensure that I was comfortable along the way. I would highly recommend Dr Park.”

Diane Wilson

“Dr. Vladimir Tismensky is such a great doctor! I had an infection after root canal treatment (done by different doctor) so he decided to make a surgery. I was thinking it’s gonna be hard long procedure, but the Doctor have done it in 20 mins and I relegated from the office in 35 mins. With a doctor like this, you understand that you are in the hands of a great professional! The office staff also nice and friendly! And I was really surprised I didn’t wait when I came for appointments!”

“I came Here from a referral from my dentist for a root canal. I was having the worst sensitivity! The office got me in the next day and scheduling on the following work day. Dr. Park then did my root canal. She was so kind, understanding, and gentle. She was humming along to the music while she worked, and it was soothing to know she was so confident in her skills that it was second nature and she could sing while doing it! The front office staff answered all my questions and did all the hard insurance stuff. I am so happy with this experience! I'm all better now and thank you!”

Heather B

“My dentist sent me to Professional Endodontics for treatment on a tooth that seemed really compromised and almost a hopeless case. Dr. Tismensky x-rayed and scanned my tooth and decided with confidence that it was salvageable and went ahead and did the root canal. The tenderness I was having went away within a day or two and my tooth seems fine now. The whole process was quick and painless. I would highly recommend this office for root canal treatment. Dr. Vlad and his staff are extremely kind and professional.”

Sandra Clement

“If your dentist asks you to see an endodontist for a root canal, this is a very good place. Everyone there, from the front desk, to the assistants and the doctors are all very professional and on top of everything. You'll be well taken care of.”
