Save Your Tooth with Advanced Surgical Care
Preserve Your Oral Health with an Apicoectomy
At Oasispark Dental, we specialize in apicoectomy procedures to save teeth that have undergone root canal treatment but still experience persistent infection or inflammation. This minor surgical procedure removes the infected tip of the tooth’s root and seals it to prevent further complications. If you’ve been experiencing ongoing pain or reinfection after a root canal, an apicoectomy may be the solution to protect your natural tooth and restore your oral health.
The Benefits of an Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a targeted and effective treatment designed to:
- Eliminate persistent infection – Removes damaged tissue and bacteria from the root tip.
- Preserve your natural tooth – Avoids the need for tooth extraction.
- Provide long-term relief – Seals the root to prevent future complications.
- Support overall oral health – Protects surrounding teeth and bone structure.
With precise microsurgical techniques, an apicoectomy can ensure lasting relief and stability for your tooth.
What to Expect During Your Apicoectomy Procedure
The procedure begins with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Your dentist will then make a small incision in the gum tissue, exposing the infected root tip. Using advanced microsurgical tools, we carefully remove the damaged area, clean the root, and seal it with a biocompatible filling.
Afterward, the gum is sutured, and your healing process begins. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return to normal activities within a few days. Follow-up care ensures your tooth is healing properly and free from infection.
