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 was honestly scared to get my wisdom teeth out, because I was already in unbearable pain from my one wisdom tooth being infected. It hurt to talk, open my mouth, and to even eat. I tried everything to take the pain away and nothing helped. So I made the appointment for my wisdom teeth removal because I couldn’t take it anymore. But, I’m on day 5 now, since surgery, and I’ve never felt better. Even after the anesthesia wore off, I couldn’t believe how I felt! I had very little to no pain at all! I was able to eat the soup I was sent home with, with no problems. Day after surgery I ate pancakes stuffed with bananas, and Mac n cheese the rest of the day. My favorite part is drinking milk shakes and smoothies! I was in such relief after surgery, because my jaw felt so much better than it did before and I honestly can’t believe one tooth ache hurt more than having 4 wisdom teeth pulled. Definitely HIGHLY recommend to go here for wisdom teeth removal! Again, I am on day 5 now, and my mouth and jaw feel great, and my healing is going very smoothly! VERY HAPPY to feel this good again! 🙃
You cannot even imagine how well this business is run. You would think a doctors office that is immaculate, classy decor, state-of-the art technology, and tightly organized would have snotty, impatient, insensitive staff. But the staff is really professional and kind, and is a major reflection of the doctor who owns this practice and has fantastic people skills while expediently doing his job. You leave feeling pampered, like you just had an “experience” and it’s because you are so well taken care of and attended to. And I was only there to have a tooth pulled. No pain whatsoever. I kept wondering when it would start to hurt. Never happened. They even followed up a week later to see how I was doing and explained exactly the steps I needed to take and how the healing would progress. I left with no questions. It’s an amazing practice so if you ever need any kind of dental work above what a dentist can do, make an appointment here.
