Frequently Asked Questions About Endodontic Microsurgery

When is endodontic microsurgery recommended?

At Perry Endodontics, endodontic microsurgery is recommended when other treatments, such as a root canal, have not fully resolved the issue or when additional precision is needed to address complex cases. Using advanced diagnostic tools like 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), we carefully evaluate your tooth and may recommend a procedure such as an endodontic microsurgery to preserve your natural tooth and restore your oral health.

How long does an apicoectomy take?
At Perry Endodontics, the length of an apicoectomy typically ranges from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on factors such as the complexity of the case and the location of the tooth. Our team will provide a thorough evaluation and keep you informed throughout the process to ensure your comfort and understanding.
Will my insurance cover endodontic microsurgery?
Most dental insurance plans cover endodontic microsurgery as it is considered to be a necessary procedure to save a tooth. However, coverage can vary based on your specific plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand the details of your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs you may incur.
How long does it take to recover from endodontic microsurgery?
Initial recovery from endodontic microsurgery, including healing of the surgical area, typically takes a few days to a week. Soft tissue healing continues over the following weeks, while full bony healing can take 12 to 18 months. At Perry Endodontics, we provide personalized care instructions and support to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term success.
What can I eat after an apicoectomy?
Maintaining proper nutrition is essential for recovery after an apicoectomy. Soft foods such as yogurt, ice cream, smoothies, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, soft pasta, and soups cooled to room temperature are ideal during the first few days. Avoid hard, crusty, chewy, very warm foods, and carbonated beverages, as they may irritate the surgical area. If eating is challenging, nutrient-rich meal replacements can be a helpful option. At Perry Endodontics, we provide personalized post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
