What Is An Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy is a specialized procedure that helps save a tooth when a root canal alone isn’t enough to fully heal an infection. Sometimes, a small area at the tip of the tooth’s root can stay irritated or infected even after treatment, and that’s where an apicoectomy comes in. At Nimmich Endodontics, Dr. Michael Nimmich and Dr. Bruno use this procedure to remove the problem area and give your tooth a fresh start. If you’ve had a root canal but are still dealing with discomfort or swelling, don’t wait — reach out to our office in Sumter, SC to see if an apicoectomy might be the right next step to keep your smile healthy.
What Are the Benefits of An Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy offers several important benefits for preserving your natural smile and maintaining long-term oral health, including:
- Saves a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted
- Removes persistent infection or inflammation at the root tip
- Prevents the spread of bacteria to surrounding bone and tissues
- Relieves ongoing pain or discomfort after a root canal
- Supports the health and stability of surrounding teeth and jawbone
- Helps maintain normal chewing function and natural appearance

Dr Bruno was absolutely amazing! He was kind and caring to my elderly mother, and treated her with such respect. His work was beautiful, and he was so great about getting us in quickly. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bruno!
Referred by my dentist to Dr.Nimmich. Absolutely fantastic service! He went through every step with me and explained cause and outcome. His staff were also so helpful as I had to take my daughter with me! I recommend his office to anyone! Very respectful, knowledgeable, and very thorough! 100000/10
Dr. Bruno and Ashton were phenomenal. From my first appointment, Dr. Bruno already knew what needed to be done fix a root canal I had done 12 years prior at a separate endodontist and explained my options about proceeding very clearly. They were very knowledgeable, polite and great personalities to be surrounded by.During my procedure Ashton and Dr. Bruno made sure I was comfortable the entire time and kept me informed throughout the whole procedure. I went in with no pain and left the same way. All the way from the front desk to the operatory, I felt valued and respected as a patient.I cannot recommend Dr. Bruno, Ashton, and this practice enough.5/5
