Apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a dental procedure performed to save a tooth that has an infected or inflamed root tip (apex) and cannot be effectively treated with traditional root canal therapy. At Curedentalclinic, we offer this specialized treatment to address persistent infections or complications that may arise after a root canal procedure.
During an apicoectomy, the infected or damaged portion of the tooth’s root tip is removed along with any surrounding infected tissue. The end of the root is then sealed to prevent further infection. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
Our experienced team at Curedentalclinic is well-versed in performing apicoectomies with precision and care. We utilize state-of-the-art technology and adhere to strict sterilization protocols to ensure a safe and successful procedure. Our focus is on delivering exceptional dental care and preserving your natural teeth whenever possible.

Apicoectomy Procedure
During an apicoectomy, the procedure starts with administering local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Then, a small incision is made in the gum tissue near the tooth to access the underlying bone and root. The infected or damaged portion of the root tip is carefully removed, along with any surrounding infected tissue. In some cases, a small filling may be placed in the end of the root to seal it off and prevent further infection.
After the removal of the infected tissue, the area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The incision is then sutured back together, promoting proper healing. You may be given specific post-operative instructions, including medication to manage any discomfort and guidelines for oral hygiene and diet.
At Curedentalclinic, we understand the importance of precision and attention to detail during an apicoectomy. Our experienced dental professionals utilize advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the highest level of care and successful outcomes.
