Endodontic Microsurgery - Oakton, VA

Commonly known as apicectomy, endodontic microsurgery involves the surgical excision of the infected root tip of a tooth. The dentist eliminates any inflamed or infected tissue before sealing the area. Boasting an 85% success rate, endodontic microsurgery is indeed a viable option for those seeking to regain their radiant smiles!

Why Might You Require Endodontic Microsurgery?

Endodontic microsurgery becomes a necessity when traditional methods, like root canal therapy, fail to resolve the infection. It becomes a favorable option to uphold oral health for patients who have experienced unsuccessful root canal therapy or repeated root canal treatments. Plus, this procedure serves as an effective alternative to tooth extractions.

Treatment Protocol

This straightforward procedure begins with the dentist numbing the affected area, followed by a tiny incision in the gums. This grants the dentist access to locate and eliminate the affected tissue and the root tip. After filling the area, your gums are stitched to aid tissue recovery.

Post endodontic microsurgery, you can anticipate complete functionality of your tooth in a few months.
