POST REMOVAL
Comprehensive Post Removal Services
At Island Endodontics, we provide specialized dental post removal services to help restore access to the root canal system when a post is damaged, fractured, or preventing proper treatment. Dental posts are often placed inside a tooth after a root canal to support a crown, but in some cases they may need to be safely removed to allow for retreatment or further evaluation. Using advanced technology and precise techniques, our endodontist can carefully remove metal or fiber posts while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
What is dental post removal after a root canal?
Dental post removal is an endodontic procedure used to remove a metal or fiber post placed after a root canal treatment. An endodontist may remove the post to access the tooth for root canal retreatment, infection treatment, or evaluation of a failed root canal.
Why would a dentist remove a post from a tooth?
Dental post removal may be necessary if discomfort persists after a root canal, if there is infection around the tooth, if the post is broken, or if the root canal treatment has failed. Removing the post allows the endodontist to perform retreatment and save the natural tooth.
