Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)

When an infection persists at the very tip of a tooth root — even after a root canal or retreatment — an apicoectomy offers the ultimate surgical solution to save your natural tooth. Deep, stubborn infections can hide in microscopic root branches that standard root canals cannot reach from above.

Rather than extracting an otherwise strong tooth, an apicoectomy targets and eliminates the infection directly at its source. Through a small, comfortable opening in the gum, we access the infected root tip, remove the diseased apex and surrounding tissue, and place a biocompatible seal at the root end to lock out bacteria and promote natural bone healing.

This delicate micro-surgical procedure demands exceptional precision — a domain where our clinical expertise truly shines. Performed under complete local anaesthesia with gentle, modern techniques, it's fast, smooth, and virtually painless.
