How long does recovery take after an apicoectomy?

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort and swelling for a few days after an apicoectomy. Swelling may be most noticeable during the first two to three days and gradually improves.

Many patients return to normal activities quickly, although the bone around the treated root continues healing over several months.

We provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to monitor healing and ensure the tooth is progressing as expected.
