Endodontics Surgery in Los Angeles: Advanced Care to Save Your Smile
Are you facing a persistent tooth issue and need specialized Endodontics Surgery in Los Angeles? Our expert team performs advanced microsurgical procedures to resolve complex root problems, providing a final, definitive solution to save your natural tooth.
What is Endodontics Surgery
Endodontics surgery is a specialized procedure performed to save a tooth when a conventional root canal treatment is not sufficient. The most common type, called an apicoectomy or root end surgery, involves treating the infection directly at the tip of the tooth’s root. At ID Dental, we utilize microscopic precision to perform these intricate procedures, offering you the best possible chance to preserve your natural smile.
The Benefits of Endodontics Surgery
Saves a Tooth from Extraction
This is the ultimate goal, providing a last line of defense to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be pulled.
Resolves Persistent Infections
Surgery allows us to physically remove infected tissue at the root tip that cannot be reached during a standard root canal.
Diagnoses Hidden Problems
It provides an opportunity to examine the root end for tiny fractures or hidden canals that do not show up on x-rays.
Alleviates Chronic Pain or Swelling
For patients with ongoing symptoms after a root canal, endodontic surgery can finally bring lasting relief.
High Rate of Success
With modern techniques and technology, endodontic surgery is a highly predictable procedure with excellent long term success rates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is endodontic surgery the same as a root canal?
No. A root canal is a non-surgical procedure performed through the crown of the tooth. Endodontic surgery is a surgical procedure that addresses the tip of the root from outside the tooth, through the gum tissue.
Is the surgery painful?
You will be thoroughly numbed and will not feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild and can be compared to that of a standard tooth extraction.
How long does the procedure take?
Most endodontic surgeries, like an apicoectomy, can be completed in 60 to 90 minutes.
What is the recovery process like?
Recovery is typically straightforward. You may experience some minor swelling and soreness for a few days. We recommend rest for the remainder of the day, and most patients return to their normal activities the next day.
Is endodontic surgery always successful?
While no surgical procedure can have a 100% guarantee, modern endodontic surgery has a very high success rate and can help a tooth last for many more years, or even a lifetime.
