Sinus Lift (Sinus Augmentation)
When upper back teeth are lost, the sinus cavities can expand, which can make placing dental implants difficult. To correct this, a sinus lift (sinus augmentation) is performed to reposition the sinus and rebuild the bone lost due to the expansion. The grafted bone typically needs 9–12 months to heal before dental implants can be placed securely.
Autogenous (Self-Donor) Bone Grafting
Sometimes, the areas where dental implants are planned don’t have enough bone for stable placement. In these cases, bone can be taken from another area of your mouth—often the chin or the back of the jaw where wisdom teeth were removed—and grafted into the deficient site to provide the support needed for successful implants.
Implant Site Preparation and Development
When a tooth is removed due to infection, bone loss in the surrounding area is common. In such cases, bone grafting can often be done at the same time as the extraction, preparing the site for future dental implant placement.
Computer-Guided Digital Treatment Planning
Using advanced 3D software, we assess the quality, quantity, and position of your bone to determine the ideal placement for your dental implants. This technology enables seamless collaboration with your restorative dentist, ensuring precise, predictable, and successful results.
Dental Implant Care and Maintenance
Once your dental implant restoration is complete, proper oral hygiene is crucial to prevent infection and ensure long-term success. Like natural teeth, implants can accumulate plaque and tartar, so regular professional cleanings are essential to keep them healthy and functioning properly. The recommended cleaning schedule will depend on your individual needs and oral health.
