Endodontic Surgery
The Procedure
This procedure is usually completed under local anaesthetic using a surgical microscope and digital imaging systems, accessing the problematic area directly rather than through the tooth.
The gum covering the root of your tooth is peeled back, (a bit like taking the skin off an orange) and the end of the root made visible. The problematic area is cleaned out and very often a small filling is placed in the end of the root to prevent re-infection.
The wound is then carefully closed with sutures and allowed to heal.
Over the first few weeks the gums will heal back to their normal appearance and over a period of months, the bone will heal round the end of the roots.
At Bramcote, we have highly trained clinicians equipped with state of the art technology which make this procedure very predictable.
