What is dental implant microsurgery?
The ultimate aim of dental microsurgery is to comfortably replace teeth, smiles and confidence, without the trauma of major incisions. Patients can have dental implant procedures utilizing very small openings, just large enough to admit the implant. The inner world of the gingiva, bone and sockets are easily seen through a microscope without major incisions or tissue removal for visibility.

Without the microscope, surgery is done using large incisions that require pulling back and holding open gingival tissue, muscle and nerves for considerable periods. For this reason, dental implant microsurgery has a low level of post-surgical pain and complications compared to conventional surgery. Dr Shanelec is committed to applying microsurgery and microscopy to every phase of dental implant and periodontal treatment.
How is Implant Microsurgery different?
- With a microscope, very small surgical openings are used
- Large incisions, stitches, and pulling back flaps of tissue is avoided
- Reduced trauma minimizes pain, swelling and bleeding
- More precise implant positioning is accomplished
- Microsurgery is a safe and proven approach using local anesthesia
