In some cases, a standard root canal treatment may not completely resolve an underlying dental infection or issue. When this happens, our skilled endodontists may recommend an apicoectomy, a minor surgical procedure that targets the very tip of the tooth’s root. This treatment helps eliminate lingering infection, protect the surrounding bone, and preserve your natural tooth.
During an apicoectomy, the endodontist gently removes the infected tissue and the root tip before sealing the end of the root canal to prevent any future infection. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for your comfort, and most patients experience a smooth recovery with long-lasting relief.
Our team uses advanced dental technology, high-powered microscopes, and modern surgical techniques to ensure the procedure is precise, effective, and minimally invasive.
If a previous root canal hasn’t fully resolved your dental problem, our apicoectomy procedure can help restore your comfort and keep your smile healthy.
