A precise surgical solution for persistent root infections. Our specialist endodontist performs apicectomy procedures to save natural teeth and support long-term oral health — without extraction.
Led by endodontist specialist Dr Kiren Patel
Apicectomy is a minor endodontic procedure that removes the root tip and surrounding infection when a root canal hasn’t fully resolved the problem. By targeting infection at its source, this surgery helps preserve your natural tooth, avoid extraction, and protect surrounding bone. At Dental Artistry, treatment is delivered with precision, comfort, and specialist care by Dr Kiren Patel.
Our endodontic treatments are led by specialists with advanced training in root and bone preservation — focused on long-term oral health.
We use modern imaging and microsurgical instruments for precise diagnosis, infection removal, and minimally invasive root-end procedures.
We explain each step of your procedure, aftercare and follow-up, so you feel informed and confident throughout.
An apicectomy may be recommended when infection remains after a root canal or when the root tip becomes compromised due to structural or anatomical issues.
In these cases, apicectomy offers a direct, effective solution while preserving your natural tooth.
Apicectomy offers a conservative solution to remove infection, preserve your natural tooth, and avoid the need for extraction.
Apicectomy is performed under local anaesthesia and involves exposing the root tip through a small gum incision. The infected tissue and root apex are removed, and the canal is cleaned and sealed using biocompatible material. The area is then sutured to promote healing. This targeted approach is ideal when infection persists after root canal treatment. Our specialist ensures the procedure is precise, comfortable and focused on preserving your natural tooth.
Examine X-rays, assess previous root treatment, and confirm apicectomy is the right option.
A small flap is carefully created to access the infected root tip through the gum and bone.
The infected tissue and root apex are removed, then the canal is cleaned and sealed.
We close the site with sutures and schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and results.
