A precise surgical solution

Treating infection beyond the tooth

Sometimes infection persists outside the tip of a tooth’s root, where traditional retreatment cannot fully reach. In these situations, modern Arlington endodontic surgery allows your board-certified endodontist to clean and seal the area directly, preserving your natural tooth.

At Omni Endodontics, we use advanced microsurgical techniques and precise imaging to complete this delicate treatment with confidence. Trust a team that combines technical excellence with a calm, respectful environment.

Endodontic Microsurgery FAQs

K
L

What is endodontic surgery?

It is a minor surgical procedure that removes infection from the root tip of a tooth and helps preserve nearby bone and tissue. It’s typically used when retreatment isn’t enough to resolve the issue.
K
L

Why not retreat the root canal again?

When the infection exists outside the root canal or within the surrounding bone, standard retreatment may not address it. Surgery targets the source of the problem more directly and efficiently.
K
L

Will I feel pain afterward?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort after surgery, often managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Swelling is minimal, and healing typically begins quickly.
K
L

How is an apicoectomy performed?

Your specialist will make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the infected root tip, clean the area thoroughly, and seal the root to prevent future reinfection.

How successful is endodontic surgery?

With today’s advanced technology and techniques, success rates for Arlington endodontic surgery are very high. Patients often retain their natural tooth for many years after the procedure.

When is surgery the best choice?

Surgery may be the most effective solution if a tooth continues to cause problems after a previous root canal and retreatment isn’t possible or has failed. It’s also ideal when there are anatomical complications or persistent infection at the root tip.

What to expect from surgery

  • Your visit will begin with a thorough exam and 3D imaging to confirm that surgery is the best option.
  • We’ll numb the area with local anesthesia and offer sedation if desired for additional comfort.
  • Your board-certified endodontist will use specialized microsurgical tools to carefully remove infection and seal the root tip.
  • You’ll leave with detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up support to ensure a smooth, healthy recovery.

Hear from our patients

“I was sent to Dr. Nicholas Leon-Guerrero for a root canal and I’m so glad I listened to my dentist. I was worried it was going to hurt, but he explained everything before starting and made sure I was numb and comfortable. It was done quicker than I expected and by that night I was already feeling back to normal. I wish all dental visits were this smooth.”

“I saw Dr. Yeh for a root canal and she was so gentle I didn’t feel a thing. I had been losing sleep over this for days, but it went so much better than I imagined. By dinner time I was eating like normal again. She really knows how to take care of her patients.”
“I used nitrous for my appointment at Omni Endodontics and it made a huge difference for me. I was relaxed and comfortable the whole time and didn’t feel stressed like I usually do at the dentist. The staff kept checking on me and it honestly made what I thought would be a scary procedure no big deal at all.”
“Dr. Deborah Yeh did my root canal and I can’t believe how easy she made it. I’ve had dental work before that left me sore for days, but this time I didn’t even need pain medicine afterward. She worked with so much care and still got it done in one visit. I walked in nervous and walked out relieved.”
