Comprehensive endodontic microsurgeries

providing endodontic microsurgeries across greenwich, norwalk, and westchester

Endodontic microsurgeries (apicoectomies) are offered as an alternative to extractions. An apicoectomy involves surgically removing the infected tip of a tooth root, and replacing it with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth and prevent further infection. This minor surgery usually takes only 30-60 minutes, and is the best option for complex endodontic cases that can’t be resolved with root canal therapy alone.

Am I a Good Candidate for Treatment?

Endodontic microsurgery is typically recommended for patients who have had a root canal in the past, but the infection has persisted after treatment, or even after multiple endodontic retreatments. It can be used to avoid a tooth extraction, which is usually the only other option if root canal treatment fails multiple times.

Keeping You Comfortable with Sedation

At our office, we offer sedation to all patients undergoing endodontic surgery. With sedation dentistry at ONE ENDO®, you can relax in the dentist’s chair and get a truly pain-free, comfortable treatment experience. To learn about your sedation options and discuss which may be right for you, book a consultation with our team today.

The Apicoectomy Treatment Process

Wondering what the apicoectomy treatment process will include? At ONE ENDO®, you can expect the following to take place:

Cleaning & Numbing Your Mouth: To begin, your mouth will be cleaned to sanitize the treatment area, and the surgical area will also be thoroughly numbed. You can be sedated during this process, as well.

Lifting the Gum Tissue: Your endodontist will create a small incision near the root of the tooth, based on your x-rays, imaging, and treatment plan. Then, the gum tissue will be lifted to expose the roots of the tooth for surgical treatment.

Removing the Infected Root Tip: The infected tip of the tooth root will be removed, along with any inflamed or infected tissue. This eliminates the infection and protects the integrity of the tooth.

Filling the Canal & Suturing the Gum: The root tip is filled with an inert, biocompatible material, which holds the tooth in place and seals the root, preventing further bacterial infection. After this, the gum tissue is folded and sutured back into place, completing the procedure.

Healing & Aftercare: Your endodontist at ONE ENDO will give you comprehensive instructions for healing and aftercare. You’ll usually take antibiotics and painkillers for a few days after your treatment, and come back to have your sutures removed after about a week. You may experience some minor pain and discomfort and mild bleeding while you recover, but this is normal.

I am a total scaredy-cat when it comes to dentists. All my concerns and worries were taken care of by Dr. Chen. She was awesome. Her bedside manner was just the best and really made me feel at ease. Her workmanship was impeccable and I am 24 hrs past my root canal- pain free. Just can’t say enough about Dr. Chen.

Dr. Mastroianni and his team are fantastic! I went to their office in severe pain and they addressed it immediately.  The technology they used to find the route of the problem was like anything I have seen before. He was able to quickly find the issue and direct me to resolution. I would recommend 10/10!

I was referred to One Endo to detect and treat the source of severe tooth pain.  Dr. Mastroianni quickly determined the source of the pain, took the time to explain the problem and the options for treatment, and performed an emergency root canal immediately. I highly recommend One Endo - and in particular Dr. Mastroianni.
