Surgical Endodontic Treatments

❉ What’s involved:

Under local anaesthetic, the root tip is accessed through the gum, the infected tissue and the very end of the root are removed, then the area is sealed from that end. The gum is stitched and heals within a week or two.

This is a specialist, precision procedure, carried out with magnification and modern materials to give the best chance of long-term success — often the last option before considering extraction.
