An apicoectomy removes the very tip of a tooth’s root and seals it shut – stopping infection that a standard root canal couldn’t fully reach. It’s a minor surgical procedure that rescues teeth that would otherwise need to be pulled.
This procedure is a targeted solution – not everyone needs it, but for the right patient, it can be genuinely tooth-saving.
We take a detailed X-ray or CBCT scan to map the infection precisely, then discuss your comfort options so you feel fully prepared.
Under local anesthesia, we gently access the root tip, remove the infected tissue, and seal the root end – you feel pressure, not pain.
We place a few small sutures, then walk you through a simple aftercare plan so healing is smooth and worry-free.
We use advanced imaging to plan every procedure with accuracy, minimizing tissue disturbance and speeding up your recovery.
Our team is trained to keep anxious patients comfortable – from the first numbing injection to the final stitch.
Proudly serving Moula Ali and Hyderabad, we treat every patient like a neighbor, not a number.
Good aftercare makes all the difference between a smooth recovery and unnecessary discomfort. A few simple steps go a long way.
At Unique Dental, we understand that a surgical procedure – even a minor one – can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take the time to explain every step, answer every question, and make sure you never feel rushed or uncertain in our chair. Our goal isn’t just to treat your tooth; it’s to make sure you leave feeling confident, cared for, and in control of your own dental health.
Will an apicoectomy hurt?
Most patients are pleasantly surprised – because the area is fully numbed with local anesthesia, you should feel pressure and movement but not pain during the procedure. Any mild soreness afterward is very manageable with over-the-counter pain relief, and it typically fades within 2-3 days.
How much does an apicoectomy cost in Hyderabad?
The cost varies depending on which tooth is involved, the complexity of the infection, and any supporting imaging needed. At Unique Dental, we believe quality dental care should be accessible – and we’ll always give you a clear, honest price estimate before any treatment begins.

How is an apicoectomy different from a root canal?
A root canal cleans infection from inside the tooth’s canals. An apicoectomy, on the other hand, addresses the very tip of the root from outside – it’s used specifically when a root canal alone hasn’t fully cleared the problem. Think of it as the next, more targeted step in saving the same tooth.
How long before I can go back to work or school?
Most patients feel well enough to return to light daily activities – including desk work or school – within 1 to 2 days. We recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for about 3-5 days to allow the surgical site to heal properly without unnecessary pressure or swelling.
