Apicoectomy

What Is Apicoectomy?

Apicoectomy is a specialized endodontic surgery procedure that involves the surgical removal of the tooth's root tip and the surrounding infected tissue. This targeted intervention is typically recommended when traditional root canal treatment may not fully resolve persistent infections or complications.

WHY WOULD I NEED ENDODONTIC SURGERY??

Endodontic care becomes necessary when traditional root canal treatments may not suffice. It is a crucial option for cases involving complex root anatomy, persistent infections, or the presence of hidden canals. Our skilled endodontic surgeons at Endodontic Associates of Central Texas meticulously assess each case to determine if surgery is the optimal solution, ensuring your tooth is preserved effectively.

WHEN CAN I RETURN TO NORMAL ACTIVITIES?

Recovery times may vary based on the complexity of the surgery and individual healing rates. In general, most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Our team provides detailed post-surgery care instructions, and any necessary restrictions will be communicated clearly.
