Why Root Canal Surgery May Be Necessary

Root canal surgery is typically recommended when:

  • Infection remains after a completed root canal

  • The root anatomy is complex or difficult to access with conventional treatment

  • A cyst or abscess has formed at the tip of the root

  • Retreatment has not been successful

  • Cracks or hidden canals prevent full cleaning during initial therapy

This surgical approach helps resolve issues that traditional methods cannot reach, while preserving your natural tooth and avoiding extraction.

  • Open in Weekends
  • Family coverage

Root Canal Surgery Near Me

At Zara Dental, our mission is always to save natural teeth whenever possible. In some cases, a standard root canal procedure may not be sufficient to completely eliminate infection or repair internal damage. That’s when root canal surgery — also called an apicoectomy — becomes the best option. This advanced endodontic treatment allows us to directly target the root tip and surrounding tissue, ensuring long-term stability and health for your tooth.

What Happens During Root Canal Surgery

1

Examination and Diagnosis

We begin with digital imaging and a thorough evaluation to confirm whether surgical endodontics is needed. Local anesthesia is administered so the entire procedure is comfortable and pain-free.

2

Accessing the Root Tip

A small incision is made in the gum near the affected tooth, allowing our dentist to gently expose the root and surrounding bone. This direct access ensures accuracy and precision.

3

Removal and Sealing

Inflamed or infected tissue — along with the very tip of the root — is carefully removed. Once clean, the root canal is sealed with a biocompatible material to block bacteria and prevent reinfection.

4

Closure and Recovery

The gum tissue is repositioned and sutured to aid healing. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days. We provide complete aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to monitor progress.

Recovery and Aftercare After Root Canal Surgery

Healing after root canal surgery is usually straightforward, but proper care is important for the best results. You may experience mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, which is completely normal. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

  • Pain management: Over-the-counter medication is usually sufficient to manage any discomfort.

  • Eating habits: Stick to soft foods for the first 24–48 hours and avoid chewing on the treated side until fully healed.

  • Oral hygiene: Continue brushing and flossing, but take care around the surgical site to avoid irritation.

  • Follow-up visits: We will schedule check-ups to monitor healing and ensure the treated tooth remains stable.

With proper aftercare, most patients return to their normal routines quickly and enjoy the long-term benefits of preserving their natural tooth.
