Emergencies Welcome
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 procedure resolves the persistent pain and discomfort that has continued even after a root canal was completed on that particular tooth.
Surgery saves your natural tooth, which prevents the extraction and replacement that would otherwise become necessary for that space afterward if it were removed.
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.
Reaching the affected area directly treats problems that a conventional root canal simply cannot resolve from inside the canals of the tooth.
The surgery follows a precise sequence and is completed in one appointment.
Request an AppointmentYou meet with our experienced dentists for a detailed evaluation of your current dental condition and of the imaging we have taken.
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure the procedure stays comfortable from start through to finish of the surgical appointment.
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.
The infected tissue and the root tip are removed, and the whole area is then thoroughly cleaned of any remaining infection left behind.
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.
If you have had a root canal but continue to have problems, consider these signs.
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.
An infection keeps returning and is not responding to the antibiotics you have been prescribed over repeated courses of medication.
Imaging has detected an anatomical complication at the tooth's root that blocks conventional treatment from resolving the infection.
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!
Skilled, efficient root canal from endodontist Dr Rayan Kafri.
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.
Amazing experience with emergency root canal and filling. Very professional and didn’t overcharge extremely fair. Great guys!
The place is clean and has the latest devices. Dr. Payman was clear about what’s needed and its cost since I had to do a root canal & crown on a tooth. The team were very accommodating. Definitely recommend and will be come here moving forward.
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.
Fealty Dentistry DR Rayan Kafri Receives 5 Star rating on my Root Canal .Im 65 the other Dentist Received 2 star
Great new office, friendly staff, excellent intake time and very concerned on my pain level during my surgery.
Dr. Newman did an excellent work saving a tooth with a new root canal. It was my first time and for sure I will return. Very kind a support doctor and assistant. Thanks
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!
It’s always a pleasure and for me sometimes an emergency ( root canal/ crown) to seek treatments from professionals that just know how to fix ur mouth. Yesterday’s appointments were for cleanings but again, fast, efficient, and can feel all the grooves again. We Love our dentist! 💕😁🤩😬
2 root canals done here and neither of them hurt. 11/10 would recommend! I have a fear of dentists... but these masters have my business from now on!
Great atmosphere, friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Carrie my dental hygienist is amazing, really got my smile back on track!
Really liked your hygienist Carrie she was very thorough! And always like Dr Pham ;) happy with my choice of dentist office. Highly recommend.
Best teeth cleaning and best office staff! Thank you
The best dentist I’ve ever been to. Everyone is so kind and friendly, from the very first person you encounter in the front office. I have some dental anxiety and the dentist and dental assistance explained all the steps of the procedure and checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was doing well. Excellent service all around.
Everything was excellent ,Courtney and Taylor my hygienist went above and beyond the call of duty to make me comfortable !
These wonderful doctors completely restored my faith that there are excellent and compassionate dentists in the country! And in Santa Clarita.💕 They did some very difficult proceedures in amazingly fast time and painlessly! I am so thankful I found this dental office. They truly care! I am so thankful for them! I can now take care of my mouth and not be afraid in any way! Thank you so much!! If you all want to be treated as a person with gentleness, expert proceedures and an office that will work with you, this is your forever dentist!! They are mine for sure!❤️
