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.

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
