Saving Teeth with Precision Root-End Surgery
When a root canal alone isn’t enough to heal a persistent infection at the tip of the tooth root, an apicoectomy may be the solution. Also known as root-end surgery, this advanced procedure is designed to remove infection, preserve your natural tooth, and prevent the need for extraction. At Smaya’s Dento Care, we perform apicoectomies with utmost precision and care to ensure lasting relief and tooth retention.
What Is an Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed when a root canal-treated tooth continues to have infection or inflammation at the tip of its root. In this procedure, the very end of the tooth’s root, along with the surrounding infected tissue, is surgically removed. The root tip is then sealed to prevent future infection. This is often the last resort to save a tooth before considering extraction. At Smaya’s Dento Care, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools and microsurgical techniques for high success rates and quick recovery.
Why Choose Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy is often the best way to preserve a tooth that has already undergone root canal therapy but still shows signs of infection. Instead of extracting the tooth, this procedure gives it a second chance by removing only the problematic root tip. At Smaya’s Dento Care, we focus on saving natural teeth whenever possible. Our expert care, modern technology, and commitment to gentle dentistry ensure a smooth experience with long-lasting results.
