Microsurgical apicoectomy

Microsurgical Apicoectomy

When root canal therapy doesn't fully eliminate infection, an apicoectomy provides relief. By removing the root tip (apex) and sealing the tooth, this procedure ensures lasting protection against recurring dental issues.

Ignoring these problems can harm surrounding teeth and lead to jawbone damage—early treatment is key to preserving oral health.
