What is Endodontic Microsurgery?
Endodontic microsurgery, also known as apical microsurgery or root-end surgery, is a specialized dental procedure performed to save a tooth that has persistent or recurrent infection after a traditional root canal treatment. This advanced surgical technique allows our skilled endodontists to access and treat the root tip with the help of high-powered microscopes and 3D imaging for precision and better outcomes.
Benefits of Endodontic Microsurgery
Relieves Your Pain
Endodontic microsurgery helps alleviate persistent problems by addressing issues that cannot be treated with conventional root canal retreatment. It targets infection near the root tip without disrupting the existing post or crown the tooth may have in order to promote healing.
Increased Success
Our doctors have played a key role in developing advanced techniques and materials for endodontic microsurgery, significantly boosting success rates and preserving your natural teeth.
Preserves Natural Tooth
Endodontic microsurgery aims to save your tooth, avoiding the need for extraction. By preserving your tooth, you can maintain proper chewing function and preserve the aesthetics of your natural smile.
