Endodontic Surgery in Allen

What is Endodontic surgery?

Endodontic surgery is a surgical procedure performed to treat disease in and around roots of teeth. Each surgical procedure is designed to help patients save teeth that would normally require extraction. Some of the reasons a patient may need endodontic surgery include:

• Diagnosis — Sometimes when there is a problem in the root area that cannot be detected with an x-ray, endodontic surgery can aid your endodontist in the diagnosis and treatment of your dental issue.
• Calcification — When calcium deposits make it too difficult for cleaning instruments to reach the very end of your tooth roots, endodontic surgery may be necessary to clean out the deposits to widen the canal.
• Damaged Root Surfaces or Unhealed Teeth — If a tooth won’t heal after root canal therapy, or the root surface of the tooth becomes damaged, endodontic surgery may be necessary to save your tooth and alleviate your symptoms.
