What Is Endodontic Surgery?
Endodontists can treat many oral health concerns using non-surgical procedures. However, certain situations require a more in-depth approach - including endodontic surgery. Whether it is to take a deeper look within the tooth or trying to save a tooth that may not have been able to be saved from a root canal, endodontic surgery can prove to be a positive next step.
Endodontic surgery can help to:
Uncover tiny fractures that weren’t visible in imaging.
Clean and seal up otherwise unreachable parts of the root canal.
Help to heal the tooth when endodontic retreatment was unable to do so.
Address any damage to the root surface or surrounding bone.
Benefits of Endodontic Surgery
Endodontic surgery comes with many benefits, including:
- Save a tooth, rather than extract it.
- Reduce the risk of serious health complications.
- The ability to maintain healthy and functioning natural teeth.
- Successful healing of teeth subject to persistent infections or inflammation.
Those who undergo endodontic surgery at Forest Lake Endodontics enjoy favorable outcomes.

Resorption. This procedure helps to replace the lost root structure due to resorption.
Hemisection. An endodontic surgery to remove part of an injured tooth or surgically amputate the fractured root.
