When Is Endodontic Surgery Needed
Endodontic surgery may be recommended when infection or inflammation persists after root canal treatment or when certain areas cannot be fully treated through the crown of the tooth. This can include issues near the root tip, complex anatomy, or fractures.
When nonsurgical treatment is not sufficient, surgery allows direct access to the affected area to remove infection and support healing. With precise techniques and advanced technology, we aim to preserve your natural tooth and restore long term health.
The Endodontic Surgery Process
A step by step approach designed for precision, comfort, and effective healing.
STEP 1
Evaluation and Planning
We assess the tooth using advanced imaging to identify the source of infection and determine if surgery is needed.
STEP 2
Accessing the Area
A small incision is made to access the root tip, allowing direct treatment of the affected area.
STEP 3
Treating the Infection
Infected tissue is removed, and the root tip is carefully cleaned and sealed to help prevent reinfection.
STEP 4
Healing and Follow-Up
The area is carefully closed, and we provide guidance to support healing and ensure a smooth recovery.
Sedation for Endodontic Surgery
Sedation options are available to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable during endodontic surgery. Depending on your needs and the procedure, we will recommend the most appropriate approach to support a calm, controlled experience.
Our team will review your medical history, explain your options clearly, and provide guidance to help you prepare with confidence.
