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 am very happy with the root canal.

— Mary Anne Linford, Posted April 3rd 2025 on google
Fantastic staff, great service and ability to be seen urgently on Friday. Thank you!
— talla e., Posted April 3rd 2025 on google
There are two things that stand out to me about my experience with Dr. Casper. The first is that he overcommunicated, which I love. I knew everything he was doing before he did it. That makes what is usually a very anxiety inducing scenario, very comfortable to me! Second, he was so considerate. He was constantly aski...

Amazing office, staff, and doctors! Was able to schedule my appointment and be seen in less than 2 weeks. When my appointment arrived I was nervous about the procedure (no one likes their teeth to be worked on). Kelly was the assistant and she was super friendly and really calming. She listened and when I needed more g...
— Jamie Strong, Posted March 31st 2025 on google
Was referred, as my dentist was booked and going on vacay. Fast turnaround on a root canal. I was in some bad pain and 24 hours later the pain was gone. The paper shuffle prior was a bit intense and took a while to get through it. However, it’s understandable as I was a walk in.
— Chris Van Buskirk, Posted March 31st 2025 on google
Great doctor and staff. Know their stuff and are kind doing it. If your dream is getting a root canal, this is the place for you.
— Gary Arndt, Posted March 30th 2025 on google
It was awesome. I’m an older woman and I appreciate when both of the team let me know what I needed to expect. The time spent was reasonable.
— kaye baldwin, Posted March 29th 2025 on google
I was extremely pleased with the service and care. No one wants a root canal, but Dr. Larsen made it painless and easy. A million thank yous!
— Janna Richens, Posted March 29th 2025 on google
Great staff and service. If you have dental anxiety I recommend their services as the staff were very compassionate and fun. Also, I had laughing gas during my root canal which helped my anxiety so much!
— Lindsay Rasmussen, Posted March 28th 2025 on google
The office staff were very efficient and attentive to my needs. I appreciated doctor Casper and his assistant explaining what was taking place during my procedure. I felt relaxed and confident in his ability of my treatment. Thank you Greater Endodontics for a wonderful experience.

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.

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.
