Understanding Endodontic Surgery/Apicoectomy

Endodontic surgery, or apicoectomy, involves removing the tip of a tooth’s root and the surrounding infected tissue. This procedure is essential when inflammation or infection persists in the bone around the end of a tooth, even after root canal therapy. By accessing the affected area directly, our experienced Valencia dentists can effectively treat the infection, alleviate pain, and preserve your natural tooth.
