Root end surgery is a procedure to retain a tooth which may otherwise require an extraction.Although root end surgery has a high degree of success, it is a biological procedure, so it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% successful.
An alternative treatment option is an extraction or monitor and extract when problematic.
We are obliged to make you aware of possible unforeseen complications that may occur during/after treatment:
You may experience discomfort, swelling and bruising for approximately 7 to 14 days after the procedure. The discomfort can be controlled with painkillers.
There is a possibility that there may be an extensive fracture of your root. If this is the case, then the tooth will need to be extracted. This will not be done at the appointment, you will need to see your dentist for the extraction.
The area where the surgical procedure has been carried out may heal with a slight scar.
Recession of the gum can occur after the treatment. If your tooth has a crown, the recession may expose the margin of the crown (which is dark in colour) and in some instances, may be un-aesthetic.
An estimate for the treatment has been provided, however, if unforeseen complications occur which would result in further treatment, then you will be informed if extra charges will apply.

My family is relatively new to the practice, under the care of Deborah and Luciana, for which we would like to take this opportunity, to complement them on their professionalism, their care and the way they interact with us, which is always friendly and informative.
I'm generally not a fan of trips to the dentist, but my experiences with them have put me at ease and under their guidance, seen an overall improvement in my dental health, for which I am grateful.

I am completely satisfied with the treatment I receive. My dental maintenance is very challenging for you due to my ongoing medical situation. I appreciate the time you take to work out the best option, explain everything to me and then skilfully carry out the agreed procedure.
I feel confidant that I am receiving the best dental care and can’t thank you enough. Thanks also go to the other members of your team.
