      Apicectomy

      Eliminate infection and avoid extraction.

      When root canal treatment alone is not enough to resolve a persistent dental infection, an apicectomy—also known as root-end surgery—may be the solution. At SameDay Dental Clinic in Dubai, our highly skilled Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons perform apicectomies with precision and care, using advanced microsurgical techniques to preserve your natural tooth and restore your oral health—often in a single visit.

      What is an Apicectomy?

      An apicectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing the tip (apex) of a tooth’s root and the surrounding infected tissue. It allows you to preserve your natural tooth, eliminate infection, and avoid extraction, and is typically recommended when:

      • A previous root canal treatment has failed
      • There is a persistent infection or cyst at the root tip
      • Retreatment of the root canal is not possible or has already been unsuccessful
      • There is a hidden fracture or canal that cannot be treated from inside the tooth

      Why Choose SameDay Dental Clinic
      for Your Apicectomy?

      Specialist-Led Care

      All apicectomies are performed by board-certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons with years of surgical experience.

      Advanced Imaging & Planning

      We use CBCT 3D imaging to assess the area with high accuracy, allowing for a minimally invasive approach.

      Microsurgical Precision

      Using high-magnification loupes or microscopes, we ensure clean resection of infected tissue with minimal trauma.

      Same-Day Treatment

      In many cases, we are able to diagnose, plan, and complete the procedure in one appointment.

      Comfort-Focused Environment

      Patient comfort is our top priority. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, with sedation options available.

      Step-by-step Apicectomy Procedure

      Consultation, Diagnosis & Planning

      Clinical examination and 3D imaging (CBCT) confirm the need for apicectomy and guide the surgical approach.

      Anesthesia & Access

      Local anesthesia is administered, and a small incision is made in the gum to expose the root tip.

      Root-End Removal & Sealing

      The infected root tip and surrounding tissue are removed, and the end of the root is sealed with a biocompatible material.

      Closure & Healing

      The area is cleaned and sutured. Healing begins immediately, with most patients recovering quickly and comfortably.

      Recovery and Aftercare

      • Mild swelling or discomfort is normal and easily managed with pain relievers.
      • Most patients can resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
      • Detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up appointments ensure optimal healing.
      • The success rate of apicectomy procedures is high—especially when performed by a highly skilled Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon.
