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 Winter Garden 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 Winter Garden office, this microsurgery is done under a surgical microscope for precision and a comfortable recovery.

This was by far the best root canal I ever had! Thank you so much, Dr. Goldberg! Every staff member was great! Not that I want another root canal, but I know where I would go.

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.

Emergency Root Canal Treatment

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.
