Endodontic Microsurgery

Sometimes a microsurgical procedure may be required to preserve your tooth. This will depend on the nature of the problem existing prior to treatment as well as the response of the involved tissues after endodontic therapy. You will be informed of the need of microsurgery as it becomes evident before, during, or after endodontic treatment.

Endodontic microsurgery is a surgical procedure utilizing a sophisticated operating microscope and special microsurgical instruments. The increased magnification and illumination greatly improves diagnostic capabilities and the preciseness of surgical procedures. Long term prognosis is enhanced and post-surgical trauma is reduced.

Patient comfort is a primary concern. All procedures are performed utilizing local anesthesia. Surgical patients are able to drive home and return to work the following day. Post-operative complications are rare; however, a doctor is always on call should a problem arise.
