* Simplified Microsurgical Implant Lifelike Esthetics
The SMILE Technique is an immediate dental implant method performed directly following tooth removal as well as a temporary crown that emerges like a natural tooth. Promptly placing the implant and tooth preserves the surrounding bone structure and maintains tissue height that would otherwise breakdown or reabsorb. Reabsorption can cause a collapsed jawline and gum-line, diminished lip support and increased wrinkles surrounding the mouth area.
After the SMILE technique has been integrated for approximately 4 months and a strong bond with the surrounding bone & gum has been established, a final & permanent crown is placed.
SMILE Technique Advantages
- Employs minimally invasive tooth removal
- Secures an immediate implant placed below the gum surface preserving the gum line & facial contour
- Temporary crown preserves a natural smile
- Requires minimal invasion, less stitching & trauma
- Reduces the risk for infection & complications
- Eliminates the need for multiple surgeries that typically accompany dental implants
Dr. Dennis Shanelec is the father of microsurgical implant dentistry & Dr. Kissel is fortunate to have him as one of his mentors. Dr. Kissel travels to California three times a year to train with him as advancements are always being made with the SMILE technique which has been taught to only a few microsurgical periodontists worldwide.
