What Is Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the tip of a tooth’s root and any surrounding infected tissue when a standard root canal treatment is not enough to resolve the infection. This procedure is typically recommended when a tooth infection persists after a root canal, or if the infection has spread to the surrounding bone. During an apicoectomy, the dentist makes a small incision in the gum tissue to access the affected area, removes the infected tissue, and seals the root’s tip to prevent further infection. This procedure helps to preserve the natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction.
We use advanced techniques and technology to ensure the apicoectomy is as comfortable and efficient as possible. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing a calm and stress-free environment for every patient. After the procedure, the tooth is restored, and the infection is eliminated, allowing the tooth to heal properly. The apicoectomy can provide long-term relief and protect your natural tooth for years to come. If you’ve had a root canal treatment but are still experiencing discomfort, an apicoectomy may be the solution you need to restore your dental health.
