Even after a successful root canal treatment, some teeth may continue to show signs of infection at the root tip.
That’s when an apicectomy becomes necessary—a minor surgical procedure that targets the infection at its source without removing the tooth.
An apicectomy, also called root-end surgery, is performed when infection or inflammation persists at the root tip (apex) of a tooth despite root canal treatment.
It involves:
This preserves the natural tooth and prevents the need for extraction.
This procedure is recommended in cases where:
Our endodontic team carefully evaluates each case through 3D scans and CBCT imaging to decide if apicectomy is the right solution.

If any of these symptoms occur after a root canal, don’t wait. Timely apicectomy can help save your tooth and stop the spread of infection.
