When conventional treatment isn’t enough, surgery can help save your tooth. Endodontic surgery, including apicoectomy, allows us to access the root tip and remove infection directly. This precise procedure is performed under local anesthesia in our office with minimal downtime.
• Persistent pain or infection after a root canal
• Hidden fractures or blocked canals
• Root damage or complex anatomy
• Previous treatment attempts have failed
• Small incision to access root tip
• Removal of infected tissue and root end
• Sealing the root and closing the site
• Healing over a few weeks with follow-up support


We use advanced microsurgical instruments, ultrasonics, and mineral-based sealing materials to deliver precise, minimally invasive care. This helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure, reduces discomfort, and supports faster, safer healing.
We guide you through what to expect after treatment—swelling, sensitivity, and healing timeline—while providing personalized aftercare tips. If you have questions, we’re always just a phone call away.
Many general dentists trust us with their most complex cases—because they know we bring more than just experience. With advanced specialty training, cutting-edge technology, and a proven record of successful outcomes, we provide the level of precision and care that difficult cases demand.
Our collaborative approach ensures every patient receives the highest standard of endodontic treatment.

A root canal is a non-surgical procedure that cleans and seals the inside of the tooth through its crown to remove infected pulp. Endodontic surgery (like apicoectomy) is performed when non-surgical treatment isn't enough; it involves accessing the root tip surgically to remove infection and seal the canal.
Yes, you'll remain awake but fully comfortable under local anesthesia. We offer sedation options for anxious patients to ensure a relaxed experience during root canals or surgery.
As noted previously, costs depend on procedure type (root canal ~$800–$1,500; surgery higher), insurance, and location. Schedule a consultation for an exact quote—we maximize insurance benefits and provide payment plans.
