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.

Dr. Casper was very friendly and did a great job explaining what he was doing and why it was necessary. All of the staff were very friendly and personable.

It went so smooth and fast. I had normal numbness after a dental procedure but no pain at all after numbness wore off. I’ve had several root canals and I’ve always had pain later but this time nothing. I highly recommend Greater Endodontics of Riverton.

All of the staff here from the front desk, assistant and Dr Ivan were friendly and helpful! I immediately felt at ease with them. I had to do a root canal while I was on a trip for pain that started in a tooth, and were able to schedule me in quickly. They were able to assess and treat in one visit, and they were lovel...

Excellent and Professional.
— Kenneth Bond, Posted June 26th 2025 on google
Absolutely the best root canal experience. It didn't hurt at all and it felt so comfortable that I was falling asleep during the procedure. If I ever move to a different state and if I need a root canal done, I'll fly back to Utah to get it at Greater Endodontics.
— Soo Lee, Posted June 26th 2025 on google
Staff was very friendly. I would go back if needed. Hopefully it won't be. They always made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Loved the music. Thank you.

Who wants a root canal... and I had had a tough experience with one a number of years ago. I swore I'd have a tooth pulled before I subjected myself to that pain again. Fortunately, Dr. Brimley came very highly recommended so I have him a shot at this. Imagine absolutely no pain... like none! I can't him highly...

I have complicated teeth and get a bit nervous. Everyone here was awesome. On the first phone call, the front desk matched me with an endodontist on the staff who would be a good fit for my nerves; able to listen to my concerns and take time to explain things. Dr. Casper was fantastic! He went through everything and ...
— Amber Rich, Posted June 7th 2025 on google
I had to have a root canal fixed a couple years ago, and was extremely nervous. I have tricky lateral canals which is why I had to go to a specialist. Everyone there was really helpful and listened to my needs. When I needed another root canal done this year and had to go to a specialist again, I knew exactly where I w...

Dr. Larson, Kaycee, and Kim were all great (and very patient). Thank you!
— Bevan Wasden, Posted June 2nd 2025 on google
Dr. Brimley and the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. They were able to schedule me in quickly to redo a root canal that was done long ago in another state and had become infected and was causing me pain. My pain and infection are gone and I am grateful for their expert work.

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.


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
