Fixing Root Canals

Sometimes the damage to a tooth or teeth is too severe for a root canal to properly fix. If this happens, Dr. Donn R Jacobs will perform a root-end resectioning surgery, or apicoectomy. This is a common procedure that has a high success rate, especially when performed with our state-of-the-art equipment.

Is apicoectomy right for me?

Using an x-ray may not always locate the source of your tooth pain. After all other options have been exhausted, a root-end resection surgery may be the only option left to try and ease your tooth pain. With the expert care and precision of Dr. Donn R Jacobs, you will be smiling without pain again in no time!
