Endodontic Retreatment
Advanced Endodontic Associates, PA — Ocean Township, Freehold & Middletown, NJ
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed.
Improper healing may be caused by:
- Curved or narrow canals were not treated during the initial treatment.
- Complicated canals went undetected during the initial treatment.
- The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
- The crown or restoration did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.
In some cases, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:
- New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
- A cracked or loose filling or crown can expose the tooth to new infection.
Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, the doctors will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. This restorative material will be removed to enable access to the root canal. The doctors will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth.
At this point, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.

Patient Review By Isabella B
I saw Dr. Apolito twice for re-treatment procedures, once in 2017 and again on May 24, 2021. Dr. Apolito and his assistants worked well together and demonstrated professionalism, while being friendly and considerate. The woman at the reception desk were also friendly and kind, especially Sue. Many thanks to Dr. Apolito and his staff. Best regards.

Patient Review By Robert B
Like most patients I was a bit nervous coming into the office for revision of a root canal. But from the initial phone call to the moment I arrived I was greeted and assisted by a very professional and courteous staff which put me at ease. Christine was very helpful and patient with me when filling out my paper work /history. Dental Assistant Kelly made me comfortable and put me at ease. The minute Dr. Zohn came into the treatment room I knew I was in good hands; Not only is he competent but you can tell he really cares about the patient; he made sure I was comfortable and in no pain. I sense that Dr. Zohn and his staff not only care about you while you are in the office but also afterwards, and want you to return to your life feeling well. I can highly recommend Advanced Endodontics; They are the best!

Patient Review By Ken S
From the online patient portal to access and complete new patient documents to my interaction with the office and tech staff, mine was a 5 star experience. Everyone was cordial and caring. 100% comfortable with my entire first experience with this Practice. Dr Chris Pellicano took his time and went above and beyond working to extract a broken post in a very difficult situation and carefully explained the procedure from start to finish. Sueanne was especially helpful right from my initial call and helped get me scheduled that same day.

Patient Review By Azi S
Execellent treatment by Dr Apolito. It's amazing how fast and efficient he was able to treat my tooth with minimal pain. I had an emergency call to the office during the holidays but they were able to squeeze me in and do eveything to assist me. I have also taken my mother to DR Apolito and she couldn't be happier with the care she received. Truly, one of the best dentists and dental experiences.

Patient Review By Ruth K
I had a terrible fear of dentists and I had a very difficult time having any type of procedure done due to pain that went along with them. I can’t even tell you how amazing Dr. Thai was today. I did not feel any pain and she was so attentive to my needs. She actually made me feel comfortable. I recommend her 100%. And I can’t thank her enough!!

Patient Review By Ruth F
I cannot recommend Dr. Zohn highly enough. I had a failed root canal requiring endodontic treatment. Everything was explained very clearly beforehand. The procedure was entirely painless from start to finish. Although I was warned to expect pain & swelling afterwards, I had no pain & very little swelling.

Patient Review By Andrea
Great doctor and assistant. Thank you

Patient Review By Kayce K
I just have to take a second to say how absolutely wonderful Dr Zohn and his staff at Advanced Endodontics were in helping my 11 year old daughter Mackenzie through a terrible time with injuries to her front permanent teeth. She was in a lot of pain and an absolute nervous wreck in the beginning. They got us in to see Dr Zohn within an hour, did a root canal, took care of her like she was their own, and most importantly got her out of pain! We went back today for the second and final stage of the process and she is as good as new! Thank you to Dr Zohn and his assistant Kelly for taking care of Mackenzie! Without their professionalism and caring the dentist may never have been the same. If anyone is ever in need of or looking for an Endodontist....call Dr Zohn!!!

Patient Review By Jeanette I
My dentist cautioned me that the problem tooth may have been ignored too long. She was right, after the initial normal filling, chronic and increasing pain ensued. Just five days before a pilgrimage to Fatima, Dr. Ostrometskaya treated me. The trip overseas was beautiful and pain free. My follow-up treatment is complete and the experience was pleasant. Have you ever heard anyone say " My root-canal was a pleasant experience!" ? Save your smile, take care of your teeth.
