Endodontics - Root Canal Treatment and Apicectomy in Bristol

Root canal treatment

When the soft inner tissue of your tooth (known as the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and lead to further complications if left untreated. Our dentists perform root canal therapy to remove this damaged tissue, clean and disinfect the pulp chamber and seal the tooth to prevent future infection.

This treatment not only relieves pain but also saves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and more complex restorative procedures.

Apicectomy (root-end surgery)

In some cases, a standard root canal may not be enough to fully resolve a persistent infection, especially if it recurs after previous treatment. When this happens, we may recommend an apicectomy.

An apicectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing the tip of the tooth’s root and any surrounding infected tissue. This helps to eliminate the source of the infection and protect the tooth from further issues.

When is an apicectomy needed?

  • A persistent infection following root canal treatment
  • Blocked or curved root canals that can’t be retreated conventionally
  • Structural complications in the root that prevent a successful retreatment

At Stoke Bishop Dental Centre, we will carry out a thorough examination and take X-rays to determine if an apicectomy is the most suitable option for you.
