Dental Hemi section and Root Amputation

Dental hemisection and root amputation are specialized procedures used to help preserve natural teeth that may otherwise require extraction. These treatments are typically recommended for multi-rooted teeth that have been affected by severe decay, infection, fracture, or advanced periodontal disease affecting only a portion of the tooth. By removing the damaged section while preserving the healthy portion, these procedures can help maintain your natural tooth structure and support long-term oral health.

A hemisection involves removing one root and the corresponding portion of the tooth, while a root amputation removes only the affected root and leaves the crown of the tooth intact whenever possible. These procedures are often performed as an alternative to extraction when part of the tooth remains healthy and functional. Preserving the natural tooth can help maintain proper chewing function, prevent shifting of surrounding teeth, and reduce the need for more extensive restorative treatments.

Our team carefully evaluates each case to determine whether a hemisection or root amputation is the most appropriate treatment option. Using advanced diagnostic technology and precise techniques, we strive to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while eliminating infection and discomfort. Our goal is to help patients maintain their natural smiles and enjoy long-lasting oral health whenever possible.
