Apicoectomy with Dr. Chaudhry
Root canals are a common, go-to treatment for patients who have suffered from tooth decay and the deterioration of their smiles. These procedures are meant to clear away the dead tissue that has become infected, and fill in the space with a tooth-colored resin.
Though rare, it can happen that leftover tissues can become infected. There are tiny branches of nerve endings and blood vessels that are connected to the tooth, and sometimes they too can get infected. That’s where an apicoectomy comes into play.
What An Apicoectomy Entails
If, after a root canal, your tooth (or teeth) still has infected tissues, Dr. Chaudhry will speak with you about performing an apicoectomy. Using the latest in microsurgery, Dr. Chaudhry will identify channels that weren’t properly cleared and remove the tissues. It’s also vital that the area be thoroughly cleared.
The procedure entails lifting the gum flap that’s covering the lower root area of the gums in order to reach the infected areas. If Dr. Chaudhry spots that the tooth has cracked or broken at this stage, it may be recommended that the tooth be extracted to avoid further infections.

I had an appointment (which was very easy to schedule) to have a tooth pulled. Upon arrival to my appointment, I waited about 10-15 minutes in the waiting area. Once called back, everything was quick and painless. Everyone was friendly. That evening I received a follow up call from the doctor to see how I was feeling. About a week later, I received another follow up call. I would definitely recommend this location.
This office came highly recommended by my dentist to get a wisdom tooth removed. My experience was great, from start to finish. Easy check-in, clearly explained my out of pocket costs, and I received my sedation thoroughly and painlessly. They made the process so quick that I didn’t even have the chance to develop fear of what was to come. Staff/nursing/doctor are incredibly kind and personable. I would highly recommend!
My visit was a great experience (for having 3 teeth extracted) from start to finish. Very professional and the follow up calls were appreciated to make sure I was OK after the procedure. Everyone there was very nice.
I get nervous at the dentist. However I didn't get nervous at all while I was there. I was in and out within 45 minutes. Very courteous staff they even called me later that day to see how I was feeling and 2 days later to see how I was feeling. All-around great experience.
