Transform Your Life With an Implant Procedure
Before we proceed with implant placement, Dr. Schwartz will do a thorough exam and take CT scans of your mouth. It gives him a comprehensive understanding of your sinus ridge area. If it is determined that a sinus lift is necessary, he can perform the procedure to ensure your mouth has the necessary support for implants.
He may take one of two approaches:
- Vertical Sinus Lift – This minimally invasive approach is typically performed along with implant placement. It’s for cases where additional height is required to accommodate the implants.
- Lateral Sinus Lift – In this procedure, your dentist raises the sinus through a small opening in your jawbone and applies bone grafting material to create a stable foundation for your implant placement.
Depending on the type of sinus lift you receive, your mouth will need to heal before Dr. Schwartz places your implants. He uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a substance created from your own blood supply, to encourage a faster recovery. Once you are fully healed, he will place your implants. You’ll have your fully functional smile back!
We understand that any type of oral surgery can feel intimidating. However, we’ll numb your mouth with a local anesthesia, so your mouth is numb. We use a special method that minimizes the initial stinging sensation. Plus, sedation options are available. You can also relax with a blanket and neck pillow during your procedure.
