Apicetomy Oral Surgery

Apicetomy is a procedure where the infected tooth is treated by the surgical removal of the root tip (apex) and sealing of the root tip with a retro grade filling.

Apicetomy can take between 1-2 hours. Your dentist will numb the area and the tooth before surgery. This procedure is carried out under local anesthesia but occasionally, you may require conscious IV sedation.
