Apicoectomy in Positive Dental Studio
About the clinic
An apicoectomy is a specialized root-end surgery performed at Positive Dental Studio in Istanbul and Adana, Turkey. This procedure typically runs $200 and helps save a natural tooth when a standard root canal has not healed. Dr. Ufuk Gürsesli, an expert in oral and maxillofacial surgery, leads these surgical cases to prevent tooth loss.
The Apicoectomy Procedure
This surgery focuses on the very tip of the tooth root. It is a vital option for patients who still have pain or infection after a root canal. Instead of removing the entire tooth, the surgeon removes only the infected root tip. This approach allows you to keep your natural smile while clearing the source of the problem.
The treatment process includes several specific steps:
- Anesthesia: The surgeon uses a local anesthetic to numb the area.
- Access: Dr. Ufuk Gürsesli lifts a small gum flap to reach the bone and root.
- Removal: The infected root tip and any surrounding diseased tissue are removed.
- Sealing: The root end is sealed and the area is closed with fine stitches.
Expert Surgical Care
Dr. Ufuk Gürsesli handles surgical treatments at the clinic. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, he has deep training in complex mouth and jaw procedures. The clinic offers these services in both Istanbul and Adana, making it accessible for international patients. While the surgery costs around $200, please note that any necessary root canal work is a separate service.
Recovery and Results
Healing after this surgery is usually smooth. Most patients find the recovery similar to having a minor tooth extraction. The goal of the procedure is to stop the spread of infection and stop persistent pain. By choosing an apicoectomy, you avoid the need for more invasive bridges or dental implants later. You can request a consultation at Positive Dental Studio through Bookimed to discuss your specific dental needs.

How are we doing?
Positive Dental Studio: more details about the clinic
Positive Dental Studio is a private multi-specialty dental clinic established in 2011. It operates two branches in Istanbul and Adana. Since opening, the studio has treated over 15,000 patients. The team includes more than 15 specialist dentists. They cover everything from routine cleanings to complex jaw surgeries.
Advanced Dental Specialties
The clinic offers a broad range of dental services through a digital workflow. Specialists use 3D imaging and Digital Smile Design to plan treatments accurately. The facility includes dedicated operating rooms and an observation area for procedures under general anesthesia.
The surgical department performs specialized oral and maxillofacial procedures:
- Orthognathic surgery to correct bite and jaw alignment issues
- Removal of salivary gland stones using local anesthesia or imaging-guided techniques
- Surgical removal of large cysts and tumors with laboratory tissue examination
- Torus surgery to remove bony growths under local anesthetic
- Open joint surgery for complex jaw conditions
Orthodontists join the planning phase for jaw surgeries to ensure proper alignment. For children, the clinic has a dedicated department focused on oral health from infancy through adolescence.
Implantology and Prosthetics
The clinic offers several implant-supported solutions for tooth replacement. Surgeons use surgical guides – patient-specific templates – to place implants at the exact depth and angle. This digital planning reduces risks and improves prosthetic fit.
Prosthetic options available at the branches include:
- All-on-Four fixed full-arch restoration using a titanium bar framework
- Implant-supported zirconia crowns shaped using digital impressions
- Permanent bar-retained prostheses for single-arch replacement
- Full porcelain Empress and E-max crowns for high aesthetic transparency
Patients receive Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) during preparation. This technology makes plaque visible, so cleaning is more precise before surgical stages begin.
Specialized Gum and Root Canal Care
For patients with gum disease, the clinic uses laser gum disinfection and biostimulation. These methods treat periodontitis by reducing bacteria without aggressive surgery. Scaling and root planing often combine with laser therapy to reach deep periodontal pockets.
Endodontic specialists handle complex root canal anatomy for both initial treatments and retreatments. The restorative team focuses on aesthetic bonding and veneers. They prioritize zirconia and full ceramic materials to match the natural color of existing teeth.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
The clinic uses digital tools to ensure diagnostic accuracy. CBCT scans provide high-resolution images of the jaw bone for implant planning. Cerec Omnicam technology replaces traditional molds with fast digital impressions.
Additional diagnostic equipment includes:
- DIAGNOCam for early detection of hidden cavities without X-ray radiation
- Panoramic (OPG) and periapical X-rays for baseline assessments
- Electronic axiography for studying jaw movement and joint function
- Florida Probe for computer-assisted measurement of gum health
The facility spans three floors designed for modern equipment and surgical units. Doctors also train other professionals through the clinic's internal academy.
Support for International Patients
The clinic has a dedicated support system for patients visiting from abroad. Staff communicate in English, German, Russian, Arabic, and Turkish. Online booking helps patients coordinate their visit timing.
For those undergoing orthodontic treatment, the clinic provides long-term aftercare instructions. This includes retainers to protect alignment after the active treatment phase ends.
