Endodontic Retreatment in Carmel

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.

Dr. Nasser is clearly at the top of his field. Impressive technology, thorough work, informative, great 70's music. I experienced no pain, except the slightest pinch from the numbing shots. After the procedure and in ensuing days, I felt no discomfort. I'm confidence that Dr. Nasser saved a very problematic tooth.

I did a lot of research before I choose Dr. Nasser. Other offices I called were impatient with me and acted like I was bothering them when I called. But Dr. Nasser’s team was nice, patient, understanding, and thoroughly professional. I see why he’s rated so highly now that I’ve been there. (He actually called me himself the next morning to check on me!) THANK YOU to Dr Nasser and his team!!

Dr. Nasser and his staff were the best! I was well informed about each step of the procedure. When I needed to relax my mouth they were patient and encouraging. Best of all they saved my molar! No extraction or implant needed! All good!

I visited Dr Nasser for an endodontic retreatment. It was not an easy molar tooth to work on and I am extremely happy to have it done by Dr Nasser. He explained the situation and options clearly before starting the treatment and he described clearly what he was doing during the procedure. He also called me the following day to check if everything is ok. Everyone in the office was friendly, the equipment is very modern, I did not feel any pain, and I was very well taken care of which is very important for me as I get very anxious during dentist appointments! I highly recommend Dr Nasser !

Dr. Nasser is a wonderful Endontist with a chair side manner to match. Carefully explained and went over CT images he took in detail and explained everything in detail. Saw to my comfort and encouraged me during the entire procedure (which was pretty long). Explained everything he was doing along the way. I can never imagine ever going to any other Endontist! Thank you Dr. Nasser.

My experience at Dr. Nasser's office was fantastic! No one wants to be informed that they are in need of a root canal (retreatment); however, Dr. Nasser and his staff took great care of me. The consultation was informative, appointment went well, and Dr. Nasser was able to successfully complete my difficult treatment. Dr. Nasser, Sheila, and Andrea were kind, gentle during treatment, and worked great as a team.

Remarkable. Dr. Nasser is not only very competent (very important when having dental work done) but eases you through the procedure with continued updates on how it’s going, wit, great 70s music and a massage chair to boot. Outstanding anesthesia, speedy yet meticulous work - I’d let this guy deliver my children, perform open heart surgery, a brain transplant, anything. He’s that good. Bummer I only had to have a root canal. I’m a harsh critic and feel inadequate only giving him a 5/5 rating. The world needs more like this guy.

Dr. Nasser and his staff were very welcoming both on the phone and in person. Scheduling the appointment was quick and easy. They were ready for me the moment I walked in. Dr. Nasser himself took the time to explain the process before he began and in detail as he accomplished each step. I knew I was in good hands. It is the second time I have needed re-treatment of a previous root canal (performed by a different endodontist) and both times he and his staff were brilliant. The first healed without incident and I'm certain the one I had today will do the same.

Great experience. Lead through procedure one step at a time. Even though I have had several root canals, this was by far the easiest, even though my crown came off, which was explained prior to procedure. Thanks!!

I really hate drills but this may have been the best experience that I have ever had a a dentist's office. I have heard horror stories from many friends who have had root canals and I expected the worst. This experience was virtually painless and Dr. Nassar is the consummate professional. The pain relief from the underlying dental problem almost immediately disappeared. Thanks and great job!

Dr Nasser had to redo root canal I'd had done by a general dentist 2-3 years ago. He did a phenomenal job. I hope I never need a root canal again, but were I too I couldn't recommend him enough. He's very swift, explains what he's doing, and tries his best to answer all your questions. His recommendation from my Dentist was well earned!

Dr. Nasser is wonderful. To start with something a bit personal, but which explains the slant on the rest of my review, I have PTSD and have a particular problem with dental procedures of any kind. However, Dr. Nasser helps me be less anxious. In fact, more than any other doctor I have EVER had who has completed any dental procedures in my mouth -- even though my visits to him have been of a more serious nature than the average dental ones usually are. For instance, on my first visit, redoing a root canal that had been done months earlier and since that time, I had been experiencing a headache due to an infection which required more than one treatment of antibiotics. Dr. Nasser actually gave me a very low percentile of viability, but he had also provided me with clear instructions on care. So far, it is still there. On my second visit, my concern was a very old root canal done in high school on one of my front teeth which was possibly becoming a problem. I believe I can relax (as well as I am able) because of his wonderful genial manner and his willingness to clearly explain processes, procedures, and their results, so I understand what is happening to me. For me, this is very important. If it was permitted, I would be going to Dr. Nasser for every filling, every crown, etc. because, even though I have a good "regular" dentist, Dr. Nasser is superior.

This was my first visit with this office but I've had endodontic work at other offices. I would rate this at the very top with the best possible rating above all of my prior experiences. I was very nervous going in but did not experience any of the pain I anticipated. I especially commend Dr. Nasser for explaining every step of the procedure down to the sounds I would hear from each procedure. He was very fast without sacrificing quality work. I appreciated his phone call the next day to check up on me too. Overall, I would recommend this office and everyone in it to anyone requiring an endodontist. The staff and the doctor are of the highest caliber. I thank you all for your dedication and patience with me! AMN
