Root amputation is a specialised dental procedure where one or more roots are surgically removed from a multi-rooted tooth while preserving the crown portion. This procedure is typically performed on molars that have three or four roots, allowing the tooth to remain functional despite the removal of a compromised root. At London Dental Specialists, our endodontists perform root amputation to save teeth that would otherwise require complete extraction.
Root amputation may be recommended in several clinical situations, including:
Root amputation involves removing only the damaged or infected root while preserving the crown and remaining healthy roots of the tooth. In contrast, tooth extraction removes the entire tooth structure including all roots and the crown. Root amputation is a tooth-saving procedure that maintains your natural tooth structure and functionality, whereas extraction removes the tooth completely, potentially requiring replacement with an implant or bridge.
A root amputation procedure at London Dental Specialists typically follows these steps:
Recovery after root amputation typically takes 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, though mild discomfort and swelling may persist for several days. Complete healing of the surgical site occurs within 4-6 weeks. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing and long-term success of the procedure.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, a tooth that has undergone root amputation can last for many years, often 10-15 years or longer. The longevity depends on several factors including oral hygiene practices, regular professional cleanings, the structural integrity of the remaining tooth, and the quality of the restoration (crown). At London Dental Specialists, we emphasise the importance of meticulous home care and regular follow-up appointments to maximise the lifespan of treated teeth.
Root amputation is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. Some discomfort, swelling, and sensitivity are normal for a few days following the surgery. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists prescribe appropriate pain management medications and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimise post-operative discomfort. Most patients report that the recovery is similar to or less uncomfortable than that of a root canal treatment.
The main alternatives to root amputation include:
At London Dental Specialists, we thoroughly evaluate each case and discuss all viable options with patients to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on individual circumstances.
The cost of root amputation at London Dental Specialists varies depending on several factors including the complexity of the case, the tooth involved, whether additional procedures are required, and the type of restoration needed afterwards. During your consultation, our specialists will provide a detailed treatment plan with associated costs. We offer various payment options to make this tooth-saving procedure accessible to our patients. Please contact our clinic directly for the most current pricing information.
