See it step by step
What happens during an apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is the option that keeps a treated tooth in place when infection at the root has not cleared. Your endodontist plans it from a 3D CBCT scan and works under a surgical microscope. You feel pressure but no pain under local anesthesia, and you are home resting within a couple of hours.
Why patients near Orange City choose this office
An apicoectomy (a small procedure on the root tip) can save a tooth when a root canal alone has not fully healed it. At our Orange City office, this microsurgery is done under a surgical microscope for precision and a comfortable recovery. Patients from Deltona, DeBary, and DeLand are referred here for this specialist care close to home.

What patients say about our Orange City office
The best root canal experience i’ve had. Everything went very well from the time I checked in, got X-rays, during the procedure, and when the procedure was completed.
CHRISTOPHER P. Orange City · via Google
Needed a fairly complicated root canal. Dr Burch is amazing! I felt next to nothing, and that includes the Novocaine shots. Highly recommended!

Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is how a tooth with an infected nerve is saved instead of pulled. Your endodontist treats it under a surgical microscope with 3D CBCT imaging and rubber dam isolation, seeing every canal clearly. Your dentist can refer you, or you can call any of our offices directly. Learn more →
Emergency Root Canal Treatment
Emergency root canal treatment means being seen today rather than waiting days for an appointment. Call your nearest office, and an endodontic specialist will numb the tooth, find the source of the ache, and treat it in one visit. Most patients feel steady relief within 24 to 48 hours. Learn more →
Root Canal Retreatment
Root canal retreatment is the second look a tooth gets when an earlier treatment did not fully settle it. Your endodontist works under a surgical microscope with 3D CBCT imaging, looking for the cause: an extra canal, a hidden crack, or a seal that broke down. Your natural tooth stays in place.

Dental Trauma Treatment
Same-day care for knocked-out teeth, root fractures, and dental injuries. We work fast because every minute matters, especially for avulsed teeth. Learn more →
3D CBCT Imaging in Endodontics
3D CBCT imaging happens during your appointment, without a separate visit and with no preparation on your part. You are positioned in the scanner, and it spins around your head. There is no tunnel, and the scan is done in seconds. Your endodontist then reviews the images with you before treatment begins. Learn more →Apicoectomy at other MFE locations
