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
They actually helped me and saved my life. I'm really appreciative of them.
Staff very friendly. Listened to what I had to say. Accommodated my wishes. Dr. Thomas, Taylor and Lauren S. Did a great job. Education was great. Front desk staff was friendly. Follow up call the next was very prompt.
Great experience. Staff very attentive, professional, and effective. Grace (dental tech/assistant) and Dr Thomas were super throughout. Front desk staff were excellent also.
When I arrived at Birmingham Endodontics I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect. When I walked in the front desk personnel were very friendly. Dr. Kaple and his Assistant Melissa were amazing. Melissa made sure I was comfortable as the doctor explained my options and the procedure. The procedure was quick and went smoothly. Dr. Kaple has a great personality and was very professional but also personable. The next day I got a call to make sure I was still feeling good. Awesome Experience!!
Great service, the staff was friendly and caring.

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.
