An apicoectomy, or root end surgery, is a specialized dental procedure designed to save a tooth when conventional root canal therapy has not been successful or is not feasible. At Dental Spa & Implant Center of West Covina, Dr. Danny Lee and associates provide expert apicoectomy services in West Covina, California, to help preserve natural teeth and maintain oral health.
What is an Apicoectomy?
Apicoectomy involves the surgical removal of the tip of a tooth’s root, followed by the sealing of the root canal. This procedure is typically recommended when infection persists in the bony area around the end of the tooth after a root canal treatment.
Key Benefits of Apicoectomy
- Tooth Preservation: Allows for the retention of a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
- Infection Control: Effectively removes infected tissue and prevents the recurrence of infection, promoting healing.
- Pain Relief: Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by infection and inflammation at the root tip.
