A sinus lift is a surgery that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars. The bone is added between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on either side of your nose. A sinus lift is done when there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw, or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, for dental implants to be placed.
We use bovine bone graft material also called xenographic materials. These materials create a scaffold for new bone tissue to grow.
When your tooth is badly broken or missing a significant percentage of its volume due to result of a disease, a dental crown may be required to restore the function and appearance of the tooth. If there are any cavities or failing fillings, we will need to remove them in order to clean the tooth and reconstruct it with a new filling.
After your implants are placed they are normally covered by your gum tissue. If by the time you come to complete the restorative work the gum is still on top of the implant we will need to make a small incision to access/expose your implants, this is the connection surgery.
We work with Zimmer Dental, Oco Biomedical and S.I.N. Implant.
There is a need to wait because the implants need to properly set into your jawbone.
This depends on the amount of work you are having done, but here are some general time frames:
- Implant placement / surgical phase: 4 business days (plus arrival and departure).
- 1-5 units: 5 business days (plus arrival and departure).
- 6 or more units: 9 business days (plus arrival and departure).
When it comes to restorative work, the lab requires a predetermined amount of days in need to complete the work. However, you should know that you will not be all these days in the clinic, so you will also have sufficient time to travel and enjoy our beautiful country.
