Cyst Removal / Apical Surgery

Cyst Removal / Apical Surgery

Jaw cysts and persistent root-tip infections sometimes need surgical removal, and with careful 3D planning and grafting where needed, our surgical team removes the lesion while preserving the surrounding bone and teeth - a key specialty of the clinic.

A jaw cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the bone, often around the tip of a tooth root that has been chronically infected, while apical surgery (an apicoectomy) treats the very tip of a root that has not healed after conventional root canal treatment. Left untreated, a cyst can quietly grow and erode healthy bone, so removing it early protects both the jaw and the neighbouring teeth. At Dental Med Austria we begin with detailed 3D imaging to map the exact size and position of the lesion and its relationship to nerves, sinuses and adjacent roots. This planning lets our surgeons work precisely, removing the entire lesion through the smallest practical access and protecting everything that should be kept.

Where the cyst has left a cavity or thinned the surrounding bone, we rebuild the site using Botiss bone grafting material, supporting natural healing and helping the jaw regenerate a stable, healthy foundation. The lesion is sent for analysis where indicated, the root tip is sealed in apical cases, and the area is closed to heal cleanly. This combination of meticulous removal and reconstruction is what allows us to so often save a tooth that would otherwise be lost - apical surgery can rescue a tooth that has not responded to repeat root canal treatment. Cyst removal and apical surgery are among the core surgical strengths of our team.

What makes our version premium is the experience behind it: these procedures are carried out by our experienced surgical team, planned from 3D imaging, and supported with premium German-made Botiss graft material rather than generic substitutes. International patients can begin entirely from home - send us a panoramic X-ray and we will provide a free remote assessment and written treatment plan before you travel, so the diagnosis, the surgical approach and the timeline are clear before you ever sit in the chair.

Most patients experience only mild swelling and soreness for a few days, managed with simple pain relief and a soft diet, and we provide clear written aftercare along with remote follow-up so international patients are supported once they return home.

Ideal for: Patients with a diagnosed jaw cyst, a chronic infection at a root tip, or a tooth that has failed previous root canal treatment.
