When we go to the office every day, we carry on a time-honored tradition of getting to know our clients.
At the dental wellness centre, we specialize in advanced dental procedures to save your natural teeth.
One such procedure is an apicoectomy, a surgical solution designed to treat and preserve teeth with persistent infections or complications after root canal therapy.
An apicoectomy, or root-end surgery, is a minor surgical procedure that removes the tip of the tooth’s root (apex) along with any infected tissue. This procedure is often recommended when
Root canal therapy has not fully resolved the infection.
A tooth has persistent symptoms despite previous treatments.
A root fracture or other issue is detected at the root tip.
The goal of an apicoectomy is to eliminate infection and prevent tooth extraction.
We’ll begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to evaluate the condition of your tooth.
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort. A small incision is made in the gum tissue near the affected tooth. The root tip and surrounding infected tissue are removed. The root is sealed to prevent future infections. The gum is stitched to promote healing.
Recovery is typically quick, with minimal discomfort. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Not all cases of failed root canals require an apicoectomy. Our team will carefully assess your dental health and discuss all treatment options to determine the best approach.
Preserving your natural teeth is always our priority. Compared to extraction and replacement with dental implants or bridges, an apicoectomy:
Retains the natural structure and appearance of your smile.
Provides a cost-effective alternative to tooth replacement.
Offers a long-lasting solution when performed successfully.
