Endodontic Surgery

For the majority of cases, root canal treatment is sufficient to treat the problem.  However, some cases may require a surgical intervention. Endodontic Surgery can be advantageous in treating cases that do not heal after root canal therapy, have cracks or fractures, or have canals which were missed or did not show up on traditional x-ray images.  Apicoectomy, which is the most common endodontic surgery, allows for the treatment of diseased roots and surrounding bone without the destruction of previously completed dental work such as fillings and crowns.
