What Is Endodontic Microsurgery?
Endodontic microsurgery is a specialized dental procedure used to treat complex cases that cannot be resolved with standard root canal therapy, often involving infection or damage near the root tip. This advanced treatment relies on high-powered microscopes and precise instruments to address problems with exceptional accuracy, helping patients preserve their natural teeth and restore oral health. At Brookwood Endodontics Birmingham, we are committed to providing advanced solutions with patient comfort in mind. If you’re in Birmingham, AL, contact our office today to schedule a consultation and learn if endodontic microsurgery is right for you.
How Is Endodontic Microsurgery Performed?
Endodontic microsurgery is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort, with sedation available for those who need it. One of our endodontists will make a small incision in the gum to access the root tip, carefully remove inflamed or infected tissue, and trim the very end of the root. A small biocompatible filling is then placed to seal the root canal and prevent reinfection. Thanks to advanced microscopes and microsurgical instruments, the procedure is highly precise and minimally invasive, typically taking about 60 to 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.
What Are the Benefits of Endodontic Microsurgery?
Endodontic microsurgery provides a precise, minimally invasive way to treat persistent dental issues and save natural teeth when conventional root canal therapy is not enough. Benefits of endodontic microsurgery include:
- Preserves natural teeth that might otherwise be lost
- Removes lingering infection or inflammation at the root tip
- Relieves pain and restores comfort
- Uses advanced magnification for greater precision
- Minimally invasive with faster healing times
- Supports long-term oral health and function
Brookwood Endodontics Birmingham Reviews
Very professional, and kind staff. Comfortable from beginning to end.
I was just recently referred to Brookwood Endodontics for dental work I needed. I have to say I have had dental problems since I was a child and I have always hated since then to go to the dentist. Brookwood Emdodontics staff were very kind and professional and made me feel at home. After my Initial visit I received a phone call from a member of there staff the next day just checking in to see how I was doing, you don’t see this much from businesses these days they just take your money and do whatever service to say they did something then your out the door and on to the next victim. Great job Brookwood I will recommend to others. Thank you George Thomas.
I had a great experience. I was nervous everyone put me at ease. Dr. Edwards and her nurse Kailyn were do helpful making me feel better. The infection was so bad but they worked hard got me the correct meds. Already feeling better and office called first thing checking on me and reaction to meds. Not ooking forward to root canals but I know I'm in good hands. Would highly recommend everyone I came in contact with. Thanks for changing a scary situation into a calmer time.
My dental assistant, McKenzie, was wonderful! So nice and kind.
The entire experience was wonderful from the warm smiles and greeting from the staff. Dr. Thomas was gentle, explained the entire time what to expect, listened, and does great work. One of the things I noticed most about him was how kind he was not only to his patient but to his staff.

Am I A Candidate For Endodontic Microsurgery?
Good candidates for endodontic microsurgery are patients who have persistent pain or infection following a previous root canal treatment that has not responded to conventional retreatment. Those with blocked or calcified canals that make standard root canal therapy difficult or impossible may also benefit from this procedure. Patients who have a fractured root tip, a cyst or lesion near the root, or an anatomical irregularity that prevents proper sealing of the canal are often referred for this treatment. If you are unsure whether this procedure is right for you, our team at Brookwood Endodontics Birmingham is happy to evaluate your case and guide you toward the most effective solution.
