Advanced Root Canal Treatments at Assure Tooth
At Assure Tooth, we believe saving your natural teeth is one of the best things we can do for your long-term oral health. That’s why we offer specialized endodontic surgery, including advanced root canal therapy and surgical procedures like apicoectomy, designed to eliminate infection and restore your dental health with precision and care.
What Is Endodontic Surgery?
- A standard root canal is not enough to treat the infection
- There is a persistent infection or inflammation at the root tip
- There are small fractures or hidden canals missed in the initial procedure
- Retreatment of a previous root canal is needed
Signs You May Need Endodontic Surgery
- Persistent or throbbing toothache
- Swelling or tenderness near a previously treated tooth
- Sensitivity to hot or cold, especially after root canal therapy
- Gum boil or pus discharge near a tooth
- Discomfort when chewing or biting
- Pain that lingers after dental procedures
Endodontic Procedures At Assure Tooth
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a common non-surgical procedure to save an infected or severely decayed tooth. The process involves removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent future infection. It’s often the first line of treatment before considering surgical options and helps preserve the natural tooth.
Apicoectomy (Root-End Surgery)
An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure when infection or inflammation persists after a root canal. It involves removing the tip of the tooth’s root and any surrounding infected tissue. The root end is then sealed to prevent reinfection. This surgery helps retain the natural tooth when traditional root canal therapy isn’t sufficient.
Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontic retreatment is necessary when a tooth that previously underwent a root canal becomes reinfected or fails to heal. The old filling material is removed, the canals are carefully cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth resealed. This procedure offers a second chance to save the tooth and restore its function.
Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy
Commonly performed on children, pulpotomy and pulpectomy are procedures used to treat decay or trauma in baby teeth. A pulpotomy removes the diseased pulp from the crown portion, while a pulpectomy removes pulp from both the crown and roots. These treatments help preserve the tooth’s structure until it naturally falls out.

What to Expect During Endodontic Surgery
Consultation & Digital Imaging
We start with a thorough clinical evaluation and digital X-rays to analyze the tooth’s internal structure and surrounding bone. This helps our specialists diagnose the issue accurately and determine whether endodontic surgery is the most effective treatment option.
Treatment Planning
Based on your diagnosis, our endodontists explain the problem and recommend the most suitable procedure. We tailor the treatment plan to your needs, ensuring clarity and comfort at every stage of your care journey.
Local Anesthesia & Sedation Options
To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia and offer sedation options for anxious patients. This helps eliminate pain and anxiety, allowing you to undergo the procedure in a relaxed, stress-free environment.
Surgery & Cleaning
We surgically access the tooth, remove the infected pulp or root tip, clean and disinfect the area thoroughly, and seal the canal. This step helps eliminate bacteria and prevents future reinfection for long-term tooth preservation.
Healing & Follow-Up
Most patients recover quickly and resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. We schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing, assess the treatment outcome, and guide you on the next steps, including crown placement or restoration.
Post-Surgical Care Tips
After your procedure, follow these instructions to aid healing:
- Avoid chewing on the treated side for at least 24 hours
