This procedure might be recommended when nonsurgical endodontic retreatment is not practical. Many patients are referred to us after previous treatment has not fully eliminated symptoms, or when persistent discomfort or infection continues. Endodontic microsurgery offers a reliable and minimally invasive solution designed to save your tooth.

What is Endodontic Microsurgery
Endodontic microsurgery, also known as apical surgery or apicoectomy, is a procedure designed to remove inflammation at the root tip of a tooth. Unlike older approaches that depended on direct visual inspection alone, microsurgery uses enhanced magnification, sophisticated illumination, and advanced instruments to achieve a high degree of precision. This allows our specialists to access even the most complex areas of the tooth root and surrounding bone while minimizing disruption to healthy tissue.
Benefits of Microsurgery
The benefits of endodontic microsurgery are significant for patients in Toronto and the GTA who want reliable, long-lasting results. The procedure makes it possible to treat hidden or obstructed canals, microscopic fractures, and persistent infections that cannot be resolved through nonsurgical retreatment. By preserving the natural tooth, patients avoid the need for extractions, implants or bridgework, which are often more invasive and expensive. Recovery is usually quick with minimal discomfort because microsurgical techniques are minimally invasive. Most importantly, the long-term success rates can exceed 80-90 percent when modern materials and technology are used, making microsurgery one of the most predictable solutions in endodontics.
Technology That Supports
Precise Outcomes
At EndoAsleep, our technology is designed to provide the highest level of precision and patient comfort. We use operating microscopes with powerful magnification and LED lighting that reveal details invisible to the naked eye. Cone Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT, gives us three-dimensional imaging of the tooth and surrounding structures, ensuring every procedure is carefully planned and executed with confidence. Ultrasonic instruments allow for refined cleaning and preparation of the root end, while advanced biocompatible filling materials like mineral trioxide aggregate are placed to seal the root and prevent future infection. This integration of technology ensures the highest quality outcomes for our patients across Toronto, the GTA and across Ontario.

Preserving Natural Teeth
Preserving your natural teeth is always the best choice when possible. Natural teeth maintain normal chewing function, speech and alignment of your bite. While extraction may seem like an easy solution, it often leads to the need for prosthetic replacement such as implants or bridges, which are more costly and require more long-term maintenance. Endodontic microsurgery offers patients in Toronto and surrounding communities a way to save their natural tooth with high success and long-lasting results.
Proven Success Rates
Modern endodontic microsurgery is backed by extensive clinical research. Studies show success rates greater than 90 percent when performed with operating microscopes, CBCT imaging and biocompatible sealing materials. These results far surpass older surgical methods and provide patients with predictable outcomes. At EndoAsleep, our team continually updates techniques in line with the most recent evidence to provide the highest level of care for our patients.
Cost Effectiveness and Value
Endodontic microsurgery is not only highly effective but also cost-efficient compared to extraction and replacement with implants or bridges. Preserving your natural tooth eliminates the need for more complex procedures and maintains long-term oral stability. Our office team assists with insurance claims and provides clear financial information, so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
