Implants
77IMPLANT DENTAL CLINIC
A procedure that grafts bone inside the maxillary sinus,
then places an implant.
If the air cavity inside the upper jaw has descended,
implant placement can be difficult.
In these cases, we safely graft bone within
the sinus to secure sufficient volume,
then proceed with implant placement.
