Will Antibiotics Will Really Cure Tooth Infection?

I have got a recent new bridge on my upper 6 front teeth because my lateral incisors are missing, and my central incisors have gone under RCT, and one of them developed an infection at the apex of the root but the rest of the bridge are fine, my dentist prescribed Ornidazole and told me to take it for 3-4 days and we'll check about the improvement after a week, but if it doesnt get better after 2 months then I might need apectomy.
I just want to know if the antibiotics will really cure the infection? Is it a serious problem? because I dont want to get an apectomy operation.
