If you’re asking this question, you may have been denied dental implants at another practice. Maybe you’ve been told part of your sinus is in the way of implant placement or that your jawbone lacks the proper density to hold an implant post.
We may be able to help bring you into candidacy!
A bone graft strengthens the bone, providing a solid foundation for a dental implant post and restoration. A sinus lift carefully repositions the sinus to accommodate a dental implant.
Your Elk Grove dentist will assess your candidacy during a comprehensive consultation at our dental office.
How Dental Implants Work
Most patients seeking sinus lifts or bone grafting are considering dental implants, which consist of three parts:
- Dental Implant Posts
- Dental Implant Abutments
- Dental Implant Crowns or Prosthetics
Your dentist carefully places the dental implant posts into the jaw. Later, we attach abutments to connect the tooth crowns or an implant denture to the posts.
This provides insight into why sinus placement and bone health are critical in implant dentistry.
