Periapical Surgeries
At Revive Dental Clinic, we provide expert care for periapical surgeries, a specialized procedure designed to treat infections at the tip of the tooth root. When a tooth infection does not respond to conventional root canal treatment, periapical surgery can effectively remove the infection and preserve the tooth.
Periapical surgery involves making a small incision in the gum tissue to access the root tip and surrounding bone. This procedure is typically used when an abscess or infection persists despite root canal therapy. Our goal is to save the tooth and restore your oral health with minimal discomfort.
Benefits of Periapical Surgeries
Periapical surgeries are highly effective in treating persistent infections and preserving the natural tooth. This procedure is less invasive than tooth extraction and helps maintain the function and appearance of your smile.
- Eliminates infection at the root tip
- Preserves the natural tooth and prevents extraction
- Promotes faster healing and recovery
- Restores oral health and reduces pain
Our skilled dental surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure that the periapical surgery is performed with precision and minimal discomfort. We focus on ensuring your comfort during the procedure and provide post-surgical care instructions to aid in recovery.
How Periapical Surgeries Work
During periapical surgery, a small incision is made in the gum tissue near the affected tooth. The dentist will then access the root tip and surrounding bone, removing the infection and any damaged tissue. In some cases, the root canal is cleaned and sealed again to prevent further infection. The incision is then sutured, and the healing process begins.
