Care to Save Your Natural Tooth
At Athena Dental Health, we are committed to preserving your natural smile whenever possible. When traditional root canal treatments aren’t enough to resolve an infection or heal a tooth, Apical Surgery (also called an apicoectomy) can offer a second chance at saving your tooth.
Using advanced microsurgical techniques, our skilled team removes the infected tissue and seals the root tip, allowing your tooth to heal properly and remain strong. We make sure the process is precise, comfortable, and focused on your long-term oral health.
Schedule an AppointmentWhat Is Apical Surgery?
Apical Surgery, or an apicoectomy, is a minor surgical procedure used to treat infection at the tip of a tooth’s root when standard root canal therapy is not sufficient.
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the infected root tip. The infected tissue and the tip of the root are carefully removed, and the area is cleaned and sealed to promote healing.
This specialized treatment is often the best option to eliminate persistent infection and help you avoid tooth extraction.
Signs You Might Need
Apical Surgery
While not every case requires surgery, you may need an apicoectomy if you experience:
- Persistent pain or swelling after a root canal
- An infection that did not heal with conventional treatment
- A cyst or lesion forming at the root tip
- Recurrent gum infections near a treated tooth
- Bone loss around the tip of a root
If you notice any of these signs, a timely evaluation can help protect your natural tooth and oral health.
