Apicoectomy


In the rare case non-surgical treatments are not enough, surgery may be needed. An apicoectomy involves opening the gum to gain access to the root tip of the infected tooth. A biopsy is taken as a precaution. The root tip is removed, disinfected and sealed. The gum tissue is replaced and sutured. A follow-up visit is required in a few days for suture removal and check up.
