What Is An Apicoectomy?

The dental procedure of an apicoectomy is also known as a root-end resection. Apicoectomies are a common dental surgical procedure that removes the apex of the tooth, or the very tip of the root of the tooth.

This procedure maintains the integrity and use of your natural tooth while also removing any infection that may have been caused by a root canal. An apicoectomy may also be performed because root canals are an option.

During the procedure, an apicoectomy specialist opens the gum tissue near the infected tooth to reveal underlying bone and tissue. The apex of the tooth and any surrounding infection is removed. Then a filling is used to seal the end of the root canal, and the area is stitched closed.

An apicoectomy is a routine microsurgery performed quickly with minimal recovery time. Patients can expect to return to normal activities the next day.

I called on Thursday for an appointment and they got me in the same day. l was leaving for Texas in three days and needed a root canal. DR. Brimley took care of me and I am ready for my trip. Thanks for the help! 👍

Dr Ivan Larsen is absolutely amazing. I recently saw him for what I expected would be a routine root canal. Turned out there was nothing routine about it. Rather it was very complicated. It took most of 3 appointments. During the whole procedure, he was so kind and caring. He turned what could have been an awful expe...

Five stars for not playing Christmas music in December.

— Trevor Morris, Posted January 6th 2026 on google

They were great! Had a root canal done, and they made sure I was comfortable. I was in a lot of pain before coming in, so I was a little nervous that I would be really sore afterwards. I feel great, no pain really at all! Dr Larsen put me right at ease in the chair! Just a great experience!!

— Matt Pendleton The Kitchen Mechanic, Posted January 2nd 2026 on google

I could imagine anyone being better at a root canal. Just a first class experience. I was fortunate enough to leave a message on a weekend and have an appointment that Monday by noon.

Questions About Apicoectomy

As with any medical procedure, you’ll have questions about what it is, how it works and what the recovery period is like. We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions about apicoectomies and their accompanying answers.

How Do I Know If I Need An Apicoectomy?

It’s likely you’ll need an apicoectomy if you’ve had an unsuccessful root canal or the root of your troublesome tooth is very infected. An apicoectomy is the best procedure and alternative to saving and preserving the integrity of your tooth.

How Painful Is An Apicoectomy?

The procedure itself is not painful as you are under sedation and the area is numbed. Apicoectomies are meant to alleviate pain, as they remove the infected part of your tooth. After the procedure, however, it’s normal to feel some pain in the area. This pain can be remedied by taking some ibuprofen when needed. You may feel some soreness in the area for another week or so after the procedure, but it will fade away in time.

Why Not A Root Canal?

At Greater Endodontics, the main goal is to save teeth. Infected teeth are typically treated with root canals, but for some patients this treatment is not successful or possible. So instead, a second root canal is performed to completely remove any lingering infection. However, when the infection is significant or has spread to the root tip of the tooth, an apicoectomy is preferable.

How Long Does It Take To Heal From An Apicoectomy?

Before and after your procedure, we will go over aftercare instructions so that you can better facilitate healing and minimize pain. You can expect the area to be fully healed within three weeks after the procedure. Some time after the three weeks, you’ll have a follow up with your apicoectomy specialist.

How Much Does An Apicoectomy Cost?

Greater Endodontics offers competitive pricing. Each patient's needs are different and each patient has different insurance policies/coverage, so it’s best to schedule a consultation for accurate pricing information when considering an apicoectomy. We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer interest-free payment plans with CareCredit.

If you have any other questions that have not been addressed on this page, we encourage you to give us a call so we can better assist you.
