I need to have a apico to teeth 9 & 10, how expensive and necessary is this procedure.

An apicoectomy is performed when the infection fails to heal following normal root canal therapy.It consiste of a surgical exposure of the root tips and then cleaning out the infection and sealing the ends of the roots through the surgical opening. The procedure is expensive and you should be confident that it will preserve those front teeth for many years. If you have specific questions about your prognosis, this may be a good time for a second opinion.
