Root Surgery (Apicoectomy)

Root surgery (apicoectomy) is a micro-surgery used to treat failed previous root canal treatments. We will use a minimally invasive method to remove the infected root tip and allow your body to heal. Please ask our friendly staff at TUTH Dental if you have any questions or concerns about root canal re-infection.

Save Your Teeth with a Root Canal

Root canal treatment provides several  benefits for infected or damaged teeth. 

Some key advantages include:

Pain Relief

A root canal is often the best choice for alleviation of pain caused by infected or damaged pulp. Pain signals are no longer transmitted when the affected pulp has been removed.

Preventing Spread of Infection

When inflamed pulp is removed, the spread of infection is prevented. The root canal procedure preserves the structure of the mouth, which can improve your oral health.

Restoring Normal Function

Once the pain and inflammation associated with an infected tooth have been eliminated, you can chew and speak properly without discomfort or pain.

Avoiding Costly Implant Expenses

Although a tooth extraction can be cheaper than a root canal procedure, the cost of getting a dental implant or bridge to replace the missing tooth can be significantly higher.

TÜTH Dental Experience

We take pride in the trust you place in us, valuing the responsibility of caring for your smile. Transparency in treatment and your comfort are our top priorities throughout your experience with us.

1Comprehensive Exam

Our thorough examination will assess the overall health of your teeth and gums. This helps us identify any potential issues early on. Our exam includes full-mouth x-rays, photos, a 3D oral scan, and a review of your medical and dental history. A complementary oral cancer screening is also provided.

2New Patient Consultation

Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we can then begin your journey to better dental health with a personalized consultation. We’ll discuss your dental history and any concerns you might have and come up with a comprehensive treatment plan that covers the esthetics, function, structure, and biology of your oral health.  

3Treatment

If we find any dental issues, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to address them. This could involve treatments such as fillings, root canals, or implants. We will focus on the most urgent and immediate matter first then work our way down the priority list. This usually means controlling infectious dental disease such as cavities, root canals, or extraction first, then we focus on rehabilitating any missing teeth (i.e. implants or bridges) or improving your bite. Once that’s addressed, we can then focus on any cosmetic concerns you might have and maintenance.

4Regular Cleaning and Preventive Measures

Once we have treated all of your dental diseases, we can then focus on maintaining your dental health with our regular cleaning services and check-up. Preventive care helps keep your smile bright and healthy for the future.
