An apicoectomy is a small surgical procedure that removes the very tip of a tooth’s root, along with any infected tissue. Think of it as a precise clean-up when a previous root canal hasn’t fully resolved the problem. It saves your natural tooth instead of removing it.
This procedure is specifically recommended when standard root canal treatment hasn’t been enough to fully heal the tooth.
We take a detailed X-ray to map the infection precisely. Then we walk you through exactly what to expect so there are no surprises.
With local anesthesia keeping you completely comfortable, we make a tiny opening, remove the infected root tip, and seal it cleanly.
We close the area with small stitches and schedule a brief follow-up visit to confirm everything is healing perfectly.
We use advanced digital X-rays to pinpoint infection exactly, so treatment is accurate and nothing is guesswork.
Our team is trained to keep you calm, numb, and comfortable from the very first moment you sit down.
We are your neighbors in Moula Ali – real people who genuinely care about your long-term oral health.

Will an apicoectomy hurt?
Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use strong local anesthesia to ensure you feel absolutely no pain during the surgery. You may feel mild soreness for a couple of days afterward – similar to a bruise – which is easily managed with standard pain relief medication.
How much does an apicoectomy cost in Hyderabad?
The cost varies depending on which tooth is involved and the complexity of your specific case. At Unique Dental, we believe quality care should be accessible, and we work hard to keep our pricing fair and transparent.

How is an apicoectomy different from a root canal?
A root canal cleans infection from inside the tooth’s canal. An apicoectomy works from the outside – surgically removing the infected tip of the root when the canal alone cannot solve the problem. They are complementary procedures, not competing ones.
How long does it take to fully recover?
Most patients feel noticeably better within 2 – 3 days and return to their normal routine within 5 days. Complete bone healing around the root tip takes a few months, which is why we schedule a follow-up X-ray to confirm everything is healing exactly as it should.
