Apicoectomy vs. Root Canal Treatment

Confused about whether you need an apicoectomy or a root canal?

At Al Safwa Medical Center in Abu Dhabi, we help you determine the best treatment for your condition.

  • Root Canal Treatment: Removes infected pulp inside the tooth and seals the canals.
  • Apicoectomy: A surgical solution if infection persists after a root canal, removing the infected root tip and sealing it to prevent future issues.

If you’re experiencing recurrent pain, swelling, or infection after a root canal, an apicoectomy might be the most effective option to save your tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some  answers to commonly asked questions about our Medical services

How long does an apicoectomy take at Al Safwa Medical Center?

The procedure usually takes 30–90 minutes, depending on the location and complexity of the infection.

Is an apicoectomy painful?

No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Mild soreness may occur after surgery but can be managed with pain relievers.

What is the recovery time after an apicoectomy?

Most patients recover within a few days, with swelling and mild discomfort subsiding within a week. Normal activities can usually be resumed within 24–48 hours.

When should I consider an apicoectomy instead of an extraction?

If a previous root canal treatment hasn’t fully resolved an infection but the tooth structure remains strong, an apicoectomy is a better option to preserve your natural tooth.

What aftercare steps should I follow post-apicoectomy?

Avoid hard or crunchy foods for a few days, follow proper oral hygiene, and attend follow-up visits at Al Safwa Medical Center in Abu Dhabi to ensure proper healing.
