What is Endodontic Surgery/Apicoectomy

What Is Endodontic Surgery/Apicoectomy?

Endodontic surgery, or apicoectomy, involves removing the tip of a tooth's root along with 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 has been completed. By accessing the affected area directly, our experienced dentists can effectively treat the infection, alleviate the pain, and preserve your natural tooth.

The Benefits of Endodontic Surgery

Pain Relief

The procedure resolves the persistent pain and discomfort that has continued even after a root canal was completed on that particular tooth.

Tooth Preservation

Surgery saves your natural tooth, which prevents the extraction and replacement that would otherwise become necessary for that space afterward if it were removed.

Infection Control

Removing the root tip eliminates the lingering infection in the surrounding bone, promoting your overall oral health and your comfort day to day for good.

Direct Access

Reaching the affected area directly treats problems that a conventional root canal simply cannot resolve from inside the canals of the tooth.

Our Step-by-Step Process

The surgery follows a precise sequence and is completed in one appointment.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Detailed Consultation

    You meet with our experienced dentists for a detailed evaluation of your current dental condition and of the imaging we have taken.

  2. 02

    Comfortable Anesthesia

    Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the procedure stays comfortable from start through to finish of the surgical appointment.

  3. 03

    Surgical Incision

    A small incision is made in the gum to access the root tip and the surrounding infected tissue sitting around the root end of the tooth.

  4. 04

    Tissue Removal

    The infected tissue and the root tip are removed, and the whole area is then thoroughly cleaned of any remaining infection left behind.

  5. 05

    Root Sealing

    The root is sealed and the gum tissue is sutured back into place to begin healing properly over the following days as the site heals over.

Signs You May Need Endodontic Surgery

If you have had a root canal but continue to have problems, consider these signs.

Persistent Pain

You have ongoing pain or swelling near the treated tooth that has not resolved with time or with a course of antibiotics prescribed for it.

Recurrent Infection

An infection keeps returning and is not responding to the antibiotics you have been prescribed over repeated courses of medication.

Anatomical Complication

Imaging has detected an anatomical complication at the tooth's root that blocks conventional treatment from resolving the infection.

Failed Retreatment

A retreatment has already been attempted, and the infection in the surrounding bone still persists around the end of the root.

  • Dr Ryan the endo doctor did a fabulous job fixing a root canal that was botched up by my previous dentist. He was able to find the problem and clear up an infection (that I had in a root for 18 months). The previous dentist told me to wait and it would go away.

  • I joined Valencia Aesthetic after a friend strongly recommended Dr. Fealy, so I was initially disappointed when I learned he was retiring. However, the new team — Drs. Rayan and Peyman Kafri and Dr. Pham — has exceeded my expectations. I really appreciate their thoughtful treatment plans and the level of information they provide, which has helped me make well-informed decisions about my dental care. The staff is consistently professional and courteous, and it’s especially convenient that Valencia Aesthetic offers endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery in addition to general dentistry. Recently, when I experienced an unexpected dental issue, the staff worked me into the schedule immediately, and the doctors adjusted their schedules to address the problem quickly, relieving my pain between two important work trips. I have rarely experienced such attentive care and service. Valencia Aesthetic Dentistry has earned my strongest recommendation!

  • I had a terrific nerve pain in an upper back molar. I called early morning and received an appointment for 1pm. X-Rays were taken upon my arrival which reflected a cracked tooth. Another older crown next to the molar also was cracked due to a bad habit of grinding my teeth while sleeping. Valencia Aesthetic then booked me a 1pm appointment for the next day. They completed a root canal, saving the original tooth and fitting me with a temporary crown, as well as fitting me with another temporary needed crown adjacent to the cracked tooth. All work was completed that afternoon. They all were caring and professional and I left with very little pain. I highly recommend Valencia Aesthetic, previously known as Fealy Dental, where my family has been patients for the last 30 years.

  • The staff here are so kind and friendly from the front office staff and hygienists to the specialists.They make every visit feel comfortable and welcoming. My hygienist Carrie is so sweet and does a great job. Dr. Pham is wonderful as my regular dentist and Dr. Rayan recently performed a few complicated root canals for me involving curved roots and he handled it with real skill and care. I can’t recommend this team highly enough.

  • Most people shudder at the thought of a root canal, but I've had 2 done here now, due to excessive tooth pain, and the doctors do such great work that I actually look forward to it for the relief! I've been going to this practice for a while now and I've no plans to change dentists if I can help it (i.e. insurance changes, moving away, that sort of thing). I really love the vibes here; the doctors, the hygienists, assistants, and the office staff are all really great! Highly recommend if you're looking for a great dentist.

  • My entire family has been going here for over 10 years. They are always professional and friendly. They try to accommodate my schedule which isn’t easy since I work 12 hour night shifts. I’ve had simple fillings and root canals. They always make sure I’m comfortable. Highly recommend!

How much does an apicoectomy cost?

The cost of endodontic surgery in Valencia, CA, depends on which tooth is involved and the complexity of the root anatomy. We provide a detailed estimate after your evaluation and imaging.

Does insurance cover endodontic surgery?

Many plans contribute toward surgical endodontics when it is medically necessary, though the percentage varies. We verify your benefits for endodontic surgery in Valencia, CA, before scheduling.

Is endodontic surgery painful?

With local anesthesia, the procedure is made as comfortable as possible. Any soreness afterward is typically mild and short-lived.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients resume normal activities within a few days with minimal discomfort. Your aftercare instructions cover what to expect during that period.

Can all teeth be saved with this procedure?

While many teeth can be preserved through an apicoectomy, some cases may still require extraction. Our dentists are honest with you about the odds before you commit.

How is this different from a root canal?

A root canal treats infection from inside the tooth by cleaning and sealing the canals. An apicoectomy accesses the root tip from outside through the gum, which resolves infection that persists in the surrounding bone.
