Surgical Endodontics in Florence, AL

Surgical endodontics is a specialized procedure designed to treat complex dental issues that cannot be resolved with standard root canal therapy. Sometimes called endodontic surgery, this procedure involves accessing the root tip and surrounding tissues to remove infection, seal the root, and promote healing. It is typically used to address persistent infections, repair damaged roots, or save teeth that might otherwise need extraction. At Smith & Smith Endodontics, Drs. Wilder and Carol Smith offer endodontic surgery to help patients preserve their natural teeth and maintain long-term oral health. To schedule a consultation for surgical endodontics, contact our office in Florence, AL.

Surgical endodontics is typically performed when a standard root canal treatment cannot fully address the issue, such as in cases of persistent infection or complications at the root tip. The procedure begins with local anesthesia to ensure the area is numb and comfortable. We then make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the underlying bone and root tip. Once the area is exposed, any infected tissue is removed, and the root is cleaned and sealed. In some cases, a small filling is placed at the tip of the root to prevent future infection. After the surgery, the gum tissue is sutured, and the healing process is closely monitored. This advanced procedure helps to save teeth that might otherwise require extraction, providing a long-term solution for dental health.

Surgical endodontics offers several benefits by addressing complex dental issues and preserving natural teeth that may otherwise need extraction. Benefits include:

  • Resolves persistent infections or complications that cannot be treated with traditional root canal therapy
  • Restores the tooth's function and health
  • Prevents the spread of infection to surrounding tissues
  • Offers a long-term solution for maintaining natural teeth
