Apicoectomy is a specialized dental surgery performed at Professional Dental Care Clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The procedure is performed by expert endodontists who focus on saving teeth when standard root canal therapy is not enough. The clinic combines over 20 years of experience with modern digital tools to help patients from the US, Canada, and Europe.
An apicoectomy, or root-end resection, removes the tip of a tooth's root. This surgery helps when an infection persists in the bony area around the root after a root canal. The dental team uses digital X-rays and intraoral scanners to map the tooth's structure. These tools provide a clear view of the infection site before the surgery starts. The endodontist removes the infected tissue and the very tip of the root. A small filling then seals the end of the root canal to prevent further issues.
The clinic features a dedicated team for complex root treatments. Dr. Juan Guzman and Dr. Yaireni López Rodríguez are the primary endodontists. Both specialists focus on root canal procedures and surgical endodontics. Their work helps patients keep their natural teeth instead of needing extractions or implants. The team manages over 2,500 patients annually, showing their high level of practice in dental surgery.
Modern equipment plays a key role in successful tooth preservation. The clinic uses digital imaging to plan each surgery with high precision.
Professional Dental Care Clinic has been in practice for over 20 years. The facility serves a large international community, including patients from Italy and Spain. Because the clinic works with many travelers, they provide support for English speakers. Patients can share their X-rays or photos for a preliminary review before traveling to Santo Domingo. This process makes it easier for patients to understand their treatment needs and timing.
