Apicoectomy Precise Tooth Preservation

Apicoectomy is a specialized surgical procedure performed at Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling. During the procedure, the inflamed or infected tip of the tooth root is removed to prevent further spread of infection and to preserve the tooth. Our experienced team relies on state-of-the-art technology and the highest level of precision to ensure the best possible treatment outcome.

An apicoectomy may be necessary when conventional root canal treatment is not sufficient to eliminate an infection or inflammation at the root tip. If you continue to experience symptoms despite previous root canal treatment, you can rely on the expertise of Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling. We will examine your case thoroughly and, together with you, determine the most appropriate treatment option.

At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we place great importance on individualized and compassionate care. The procedure begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation, during which we explain all steps of the treatment in detail. Under local anesthesia, the gum tissue is gently opened to expose the root tip, and the inflamed area is carefully removed surgically. The root is then retrogradely filled, and the tissue is meticulously sutured. Our goal is to provide you with a pain-free and максимально comfortable treatment experience.

After an apicoectomy at Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, you can expect a fast and uncomplicated healing process. Mild swelling and discomfort may occur during the first few days after the procedure but usually subside quickly. Thanks to our modern treatment methods, recovery is generally brief, allowing you to return to your daily routine soon. Our team is available to support and advise you throughout the entire healing phase.

As with any surgical procedure, apicoectomy involves certain risks. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we minimize these risks through the use of state-of-the-art technology and many years of clinical experience. Rare complications may include infection, swelling, or nerve irritation. We provide detailed information about all potential risks and are always available to answer any questions you may have.

The cost of an apicoectomy varies depending on the complexity of the individual case. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we place great importance on transparency and provide you with a detailed written treatment and cost plan in advance. We use only high-quality materials and modern technology to ensure the best possible care. During a personal consultation, we will also clarify whether and to what extent your health insurance may cover the costs.

Many health insurance providers cover the cost of an apicoectomy at least partially, especially when the procedure is medically necessary. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we are happy to assist you in clarifying reimbursement with your insurance provider and can also submit the invoice on your behalf if required. Our team is always available to answer your questions and help keep the administrative process as simple as possible.

If an apicoectomy is not the optimal solution for your individual situation, we also offer alternative treatment options at Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling.

We will discuss all possible alternatives with you and work together to find the best solution for your long-term oral health.

In rare cases, a repeat apicoectomy may be necessary if the initial procedure did not achieve the desired outcome.

Together with you, we develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

After an apicoectomy at our clinic, careful aftercare is essential for treatment success. We recommend using a soft toothbrush and rinsing with an antibacterial solution to help prevent infection.
