What is an Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy, also known as root-end resection, is a surgical procedure performed to remove the infected tissue and the tip of the tooth’s root (apex), along with any surrounding inflamed tissue. This procedure is typically recommended when a persistent infection or inflammation persists following a root canal treatment or when retreatment is not feasible.
Our Approach to Apicoectomy:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Before recommending an apicoectomy, our experienced dental team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your dental health, including a review of your dental history, clinical examination, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays. This allows us to accurately diagnose the source of infection and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
- Precise Surgical Technique: During the apicoectomy procedure, our skilled oral surgeon will make a small incision in the gum tissue near the affected tooth to access the underlying bone and root tip. The infected tissue and the tip of the root are then carefully removed, and the root canal is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection.
- Advanced Technology: We utilize state-of-the-art technology and surgical instruments to ensure precision and accuracy during the apicoectomy procedure. This allows for minimal trauma to surrounding tissues and promotes faster healing and recovery for our patients.
- Compassionate Care: Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities. We take the time to address any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure and provide personalized care to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience from start to finish.
