We hear this question often: "Why is my tooth sensitive after my root canal?"

The truth is, sometimes the infection is so deeply rooted or complex that the standard procedure cannot completely eliminate it, leaving chronic pain. We use micro-surgical techniques for Apicoectomy to precisely remove the infected root tip and seal it.

🕵️ Find the Source: We target the microscopic infection the first time missed.

🛠️ Definitive Fix: A specialized surgical solution that saves your natural tooth.

🛡️ Pain Relief: Eliminates the persistent discomfort for good.

Don't live with that lingering pain. Share this post with anyone dealing with post-root canal sensitivity!

🦷 When a tooth is lost, the underlying bone can resorb unevenly, often leaving sharp or rough areas.

Placing a denture on this surface inevitably leads to instability, friction, and painful sore spots. We perform Alveoloplasty to smoothly contour the bone structure, creating the ideal base for your prosthetic.

🦴 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲: Eliminates bone irregularities causing pressure points.
🔒 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Ensures the denture adheres and stays in place reliably.
🩹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘀: Reduces friction and eliminates painful ulcers.

This surgical preparation is the secret to long-term prosthetic comfort.
