Root canal treatment is often a fantastic way to save a tooth. However, a tooth that has had a root canal is "non-vital," meaning it no longer has a blood supply. Over time, these teeth can become brittle, much like a dry branch compared to a green one.
Because of this brittleness, root-filled teeth are prone to cracking or fracturing, sometimes vertically through the root. Once a vertical root fracture occurs, the tooth usually cannot be saved and requires extraction to prevent infection from destroying the surrounding bone.
At Dental Implants London, we specialize in identifying these failing teeth early and replacing them with Dental Implants—a solution that will never decay, never need a root canal, and offers the strength of a healthy natural tooth.
Why Do They Fail?
Understanding why your treated tooth is giving you trouble is the first step to a permanent fix.
Vertical Root Fracture
A crack that starts from the root and extends upwards. These are often painful when biting and cause localized pockets of gum infection.
Re-Infection
Bacteria can leak back into the sealed canals over years. Re-treating the root canal has a lower success rate than the initial treatment.
Structural Failure
The tooth structure may simply be too weak to hold a crown any longer, snapping off at the gum line.
Silent Bone Loss
Chronic low-grade infection at the tip of the root (apical periodontitis) can slowly eat away jawbone without causing acute pain.

Extraction & Implant
When a root-filled tooth fails, the most predictable solution is often to remove it and place an implant. In many cases, we can do this in a single visit known as "Immediate Placement."
Remove Infection
We carefully extract the fractured tooth and clean out any infected tissue or cyst from the bone.
Preserve Bone
Placing an implant immediately helps stimulate the bone, preventing the shrinkage that usually follows extraction.
Permanent Strength
Titanium implants are immune to cavities and root fractures, offering a lifelong solution.
Stop the Cycle of Repairs
Stop patching up a failing tooth. Invest in a solution that lasts.
