Dental Implants
Replace Missing Teeth. Restore Your Confidence.
A missing tooth can affect much more than your appearance. It can change the way you eat, speak, and smile while allowing neighboring teeth to shift and the jawbone to slowly shrink over time.
Dental implants are considered the most predictable and natural looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Designed to function like natural tooth roots, implants provide a strong, permanent foundation for replacement teeth while preserving the health of your jawbone.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, every implant procedure begins with advanced digital planning using 3D imaging and precision-guided technology. Whether replacing a single tooth or restoring an entire smile, our goal is to provide treatment that looks natural, feels comfortable, and lasts for years to come.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed into the jawbone, it gradually heals into the surrounding bone through a natural healing process known as osseointegration.
After healing, your restorative dentist attaches a custom designed crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture to the implant. The result is a restoration that closely mimics the appearance, strength, and function of a natural tooth.
Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require altering neighboring healthy teeth. They also stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss that commonly occurs after a tooth is lost.
Today, dental implants have one of the highest long-term success rates of any procedure in modern dentistry and have become the preferred treatment for replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants are recommended for many reasons beyond replacing a missing tooth.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Lost a tooth due to trauma or injury
- Have a cracked or fractured tooth that cannot be saved
- Need a tooth removed because of infection or decay
- Are missing several teeth
- Are tired of wearing removable dentures
- Want a permanent alternative to a bridge
- Have difficulty chewing because of missing teeth
- Notice changes in your facial appearance due to bone loss
Replacing missing teeth early often helps prevent additional bone loss and shifting of neighboring teeth.
Most healthy adults are excellent candidates.
During your consultation we evaluate:
- Overall health
- Gum health
- Bone quantity and quality
- Bite relationship
- Medical history
- Medications
- Smoking status
- Long-term treatment goals
Even if you’ve previously been told you don’t have enough bone, today’s techniques often make implants possible..
We routinely perform:
- Bone grafting
- Ridge preservation
- Sinus augmentation
- Full-arch implant rehabilitation
- Zygomatic implants for severe upper jaw bone loss
Many patients are surprised to learn they are candidates after all.
Every implant begins long before surgery.
First, we obtain a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan to create a three-dimensional model of your jaw. This allows us to evaluate bone volume, identify important anatomical structures, and determine the ideal implant position.
Using digital planning software, we carefully design the surgery before your appointment.
On the day of treatment, the implant is placed through a small opening in the gum under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on your needs. Most procedures are completed in less than thirty minutes for a single implant.
Following placement, the implant heals and integrates with the jawbone over several months before your final restoration is completed by your restorative dentist.
Sedation & Anesthesia
Comfortable Care. Advanced Training. Exceptional Safety.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. We understand that many patients feel nervous about oral surgery, and we’re committed to making your experience as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, our doctors have completed years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training beyond dental school. This advanced education allows us to safely provide a wide range of anesthesia and sedation options for procedures ranging from routine tooth extractions to complex reconstructive surgery.
Every anesthesia plan is personalized based on your medical history, treatment needs, and comfort level. Whether you require local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or general anesthesia, our experienced team is dedicated to providing compassionate care in a safe, closely monitored environment.
Dental sedation refers to medications that help patients feel relaxed, comfortable, and anxiety-free during oral surgery.
Depending on the procedure and your individual needs, sedation may range from simply numbing the treatment area to allowing you to sleep comfortably throughout surgery.
Our goal is not only to eliminate pain but also to reduce anxiety, improve comfort, and create a positive surgical experience.
Many patients tell us afterward that the procedure was much easier than they expected.
There are many reasons patients choose sedation for oral surgery.
You may benefit from sedation if you:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Need wisdom teeth removed
- Are receiving dental implants
- Require multiple teeth extracted
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Have difficulty becoming numb
- Need a lengthy or complex procedure
- Have had difficult dental experiences in the past
- Simply want a more relaxed experience
For many patients, sedation transforms what could be a stressful appointment into a comfortable and positive experience.
Most healthy children, teenagers, and adults are candidates for some form of dental sedation.
Before recommending anesthesia, we perform a thorough evaluation that includes:
- Medical history
- Current medications
- Allergies
- Previous anesthesia experiences
- Airway evaluation
- Vital signs
- Overall health status
If additional medical clearance is needed, we will coordinate with your physician to ensure your treatment is performed as safely as possible.
Our goal is always to recommend the safest and most appropriate level of anesthesia for your individual needs.
Every patient is different. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option is best for your procedure and comfort level.
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia numbs the treatment area while you remain fully awake.
It is commonly used for simple extractions, biopsies, and minor procedures.
You’ll feel pressure during treatment but should not feel pain.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Protect Your Oral Health Before Problems Develop
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to develop and typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have enough room for their wisdom teeth to erupt normally, most do not. When there isn’t enough space, wisdom teeth can become impacted, grow at an angle, or remain trapped beneath the gums and jawbone.
Impacted wisdom teeth can increase the risk of pain, infection, damage to neighboring teeth, cyst formation, gum disease, and crowding. Even when they aren’t causing symptoms today, they may create problems in the future.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we combine advanced imaging, thoughtful treatment planning, and personalized anesthesia options to make wisdom teeth removal as safe and comfortable as possible. Our goal is to help patients recover quickly while protecting their long-term oral health.
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars located at the very back of your mouth. They are the last permanent teeth to develop, usually appearing during the late teenage years or early twenties.
Thousands of years ago, these teeth helped our ancestors chew a coarse diet. Today, our jaws are generally smaller, and many people simply do not have enough room for wisdom teeth to erupt properly.
When wisdom teeth become trapped beneath the gums or grow in an abnormal position, they are referred to as impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted teeth may remain completely hidden, partially erupt through the gums, or press against neighboring teeth, increasing the risk of future complications.
Not everyone needs wisdom teeth removed, but regular evaluation by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon can help determine the best course of treatment.
Wisdom teeth are removed for many reasons, even when they are not causing pain.
Common reasons include:
- Pain or discomfort
- Recurrent gum infections
- Swelling around the back teeth
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Cyst development
- Difficulty cleaning the area
- Orthodontic treatment planning
- Prevention of future complications
Many wisdom teeth remain symptom-free for years before suddenly causing infection or discomfort. Removing them before problems develop often results in a simpler procedure and a smoother recovery.
Many teenagers and young adults benefit from an evaluation of their wisdom teeth, even if they have no symptoms.
You may be a candidate if:
- Your dentist recommends removal.
- Your wisdom teeth are impacted.
- There is not enough room for proper eruption.
- Your wisdom teeth are causing pain or swelling.
- Food becomes trapped behind the teeth.
- You have repeated infections.
- Orthodontic treatment is planned or underway.
- Imaging shows future problems are likely.
The ideal time for removal is often between the late teenage years and early twenties, when the roots are still developing and healing tends to be faster. However, adults can also benefit from wisdom tooth removal when indicated.
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, perform a clinical examination, and obtain a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan when appropriate to evaluate the position of the teeth and their relationship to nearby nerves and sinuses.
Every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on the position of their wisdom teeth and their overall health.
Before surgery, we carefully review your imaging to determine the safest and most efficient approach.
On the day of surgery, your anesthesia plan is tailored to your comfort level and the complexity of the procedure. Many patients choose IV sedation, allowing them to sleep comfortably throughout the procedure with little or no memory of the experience.
Small openings are made in the gums to access the teeth when necessary. If a tooth is impacted, it may be gently divided into smaller sections to minimize disruption to the surrounding bone. Once removed, the area is cleaned and, in many cases, dissolvable sutures are placed to support healing.
Most wisdom teeth procedures are completed in less than an hour, and patients return home the same day.
Tooth Extractions
Gentle, Expert Care When a Tooth Cannot Be Saved
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we understand that being told you need a tooth removed can be overwhelming. Whenever possible, preserving your natural teeth is always our goal. However, when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, fractured, or no longer restorable, removing it may be the healthiest option to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and protect your overall oral health.
Our surgeons provide both routine and complex tooth extractions using advanced surgical techniques, personalized anesthesia options, and modern technology designed to maximize comfort and support a smooth recovery. Whether you need a single tooth removed or multiple extractions as part of a larger treatment plan, our team is committed to making the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
When appropriate, we also discuss options for preserving the jawbone and replacing missing teeth with dental implants or other restorative treatments to help maintain your long-term oral health.
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. While many extractions are straightforward, others require specialized surgical techniques because the tooth is broken below the gumline, impacted, severely decayed, or surrounded by dense bone.
As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, we routinely perform extractions ranging from simple, non-restorable teeth to complex surgical cases involving fractured roots, retained root tips, ankylosed teeth, or teeth located near important nerves and anatomical structures.
Our goal is to remove the tooth as gently as possible while preserving the surrounding bone and soft tissue whenever feasible. Preserving healthy bone is especially important if you are considering a dental implant in the future.
There are several reasons why removing a tooth may be the best treatment option.
Common reasons include:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be restored
- Dental infection or abscess
- Vertical root fracture
- Broken teeth below the gumline
- Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
- Trauma or sports injuries
- Non-restorable teeth
- Teeth interfering with orthodontic treatment
- Overcrowding
- Retained baby teeth preventing permanent tooth eruption
Removing a damaged or infected tooth often relieves pain, eliminates infection, and helps protect the health of neighboring teeth and surrounding bone.
You may benefit from a tooth extraction if your dentist or specialist determines that the tooth cannot be predictably saved.
During your consultation, we evaluate:
- The condition of the tooth
- Existing restorations
- Bone support
- Gum health
- Signs of infection
- Medical history
- Medications
- Long-term restorative goals
Whenever appropriate, we work closely with your general dentist, endodontist, orthodontist, or restorative dentist to determine whether the tooth can be preserved before recommending extraction.
If removal is necessary, we also discuss options to preserve the extraction site for future tooth replacement.
Every extraction begins with careful planning.
Using digital imaging, and when indicated, a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan, we evaluate the tooth, surrounding bone, nearby nerves, sinuses, and adjacent teeth before surgery.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, the procedure may involve a simple extraction or a surgical approach. Surgical extractions may require gently lifting the gum tissue, removing a small amount of surrounding bone, or dividing the tooth into smaller sections to minimize trauma.
Throughout the procedure, our focus is on preserving healthy bone and soft tissue while removing the tooth safely and comfortably.
Following removal, we may place dissolvable sutures and recommend ridge preservation bone grafting when future implant placement is planned.
Full-Arch Dental Implants (All-on-X)
Restore Your Smile. Reclaim Your Confidence.
Living with failing teeth or uncomfortable dentures can affect nearly every aspect of your life, from eating and speaking to smiling confidently around family and friends. Many patients feel frustrated by ongoing dental problems, repeated repairs, or dentures that slip, move, or make it difficult to enjoy everyday activities.
Full-Arch Dental Implants, often referred to as All-on-X, offer a permanent, fixed solution for replacing an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. Using a carefully planned number of dental implants, a full set of beautiful, functional teeth can often be securely supported without the need for an implant for every missing tooth.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we use advanced digital planning, 3D imaging, and precision surgical techniques to help restore smiles with exceptional accuracy and predictability. Working closely with your restorative dentist, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to restore your smile, improve your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and help you regain confidence in your everyday life.
Full-arch dental implants are an advanced method of replacing all of the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both using strategically placed dental implants.
Rather than replacing each missing tooth individually, a small number of implants are carefully positioned to support an entire custom-made arch of teeth. Depending on your anatomy, bone quality, and treatment goals, four, five, six, or more implants may be recommended. This individualized approach is why the treatment is commonly referred to as All-on-X rather than a fixed number of implants.
Unlike traditional dentures, full-arch implant restorations are securely attached to the implants, providing excellent stability and function. Patients are able to enjoy a smile that looks natural, feels secure, and allows them to eat many of the foods they have been avoiding.
For many patients, this treatment is truly life changing.
You may be a candidate if you are experiencing ongoing problems with your teeth or dentures.
Common reasons patients choose All-on-X include:
- Multiple failing or severely damaged teeth
- Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
- Significant tooth loss
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Difficulty chewing
- Repeated dental infections
- Extensive decay throughout the mouth
- Broken teeth that cannot be predictably restored
- Frustration with repeated dental treatment
- Desire for a fixed, non-removable solution
Many patients have spent years trying to save individual teeth. In some situations, replacing the remaining unhealthy teeth with a fixed implant-supported restoration offers a more predictable and long-lasting solution.
Every patient is unique, and treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation.
During your consultation, we assess:
- Overall health
- Medical history
- Existing teeth
- Bone volume and quality
- Gum health
- Bite relationship
- Facial support
- Smile goals
- Long-term restorative needs
Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional implants, you may still be a candidate. Bone grafting, sinus augmentation, and advanced techniques such as zygomatic implants can make treatment possible for many patients with significant bone loss.
Our goal is to develop a treatment plan that is customized specifically for your anatomy and long-term success.
Every All-on-X case is carefully planned before surgery begins.
Step 1 — Consultation
We perform a comprehensive examination, obtain a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. Digital photographs, intraoral scans, and additional records may also be obtained to help design your new smile.
Step 2 — Digital Treatment Planning
Using advanced software, we virtually plan the ideal position of every implant while coordinating closely with your restorative dentist. This prosthetically driven approach ensures the implants are placed to support the final teeth—not just the available bone.
Step 3 — Surgery
If necessary, remaining failing teeth are removed and the dental implants are placed during the same appointment whenever appropriate. Bone grafting or additional procedures may also be performed if indicated.
Step 4 — Temporary Teeth
Many patients are able to receive a temporary fixed set of teeth shortly after implant placement. These temporary restorations allow you to smile, speak, and function while your implants heal.
Step 5 — Final Restoration
After several months of healing and integration, your restorative dentist fabricates your final custom restoration. Designed for long-term function and aesthetics, your final teeth are carefully crafted to complement your smile and facial features.
Zygomatic Implants
Advanced Implant Solutions for Patients with Severe Bone Loss
Being told you are not a candidate for dental implants because of severe bone loss can be discouraging. Many patients assume their only remaining option is a removable denture, while others are faced with the prospect of multiple bone grafting procedures and a lengthy treatment process.
For select patients, zygomatic implants provide an advanced alternative.
Rather than anchoring into the upper jawbone alone, zygomatic implants are longer implants that engage the dense cheekbone (zygoma), allowing many patients with significant upper jaw bone loss to receive a fixed, implant-supported smile without extensive grafting.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we combine advanced surgical expertise, three-dimensional imaging, digital treatment planning, and collaborative restorative care to evaluate whether zygomatic implants are the right solution for your unique situation.
Zygomatic implants are specialized dental implants designed for patients who have experienced severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
Traditional implants rely on sufficient bone within the upper jaw for support. When that bone has deteriorated because of missing teeth, periodontal disease, trauma, or previous denture wear, conventional implants may no longer be possible without rebuilding the jaw through bone grafting.
Instead of anchoring entirely within the upper jaw, zygomatic implants extend into the zygomatic bone—the strong cheekbone located above the upper jaw. Because the cheekbone typically maintains excellent bone density, it provides a stable foundation for implant-supported teeth.
For many patients, this approach allows fixed teeth to become a reality when they were previously told treatment was impossible.
Zygomatic implants are considered when traditional implant placement is unlikely to provide predictable long-term success.
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Significant bone loss in the upper jaw
- Long-term denture wear
- Multiple failing upper teeth
- Advanced periodontal disease
- Previous implant failure
- Severe maxillary atrophy
- Trauma affecting the upper jaw
- Congenital jaw deficiencies
- A desire to avoid extensive bone grafting
- Been told you are not a candidate for traditional implants
Every patient is different, and not everyone with bone loss requires zygomatic implants. During your consultation, we’ll determine which treatment approach offers the safest and most predictable outcome for your specific anatomy.
Determining whether zygomatic implants are appropriate requires a comprehensive evaluation.
During your consultation, we assess:
- Overall medical health
- Bone quality and anatomy
- Existing teeth
- Gum health
- Sinus anatomy
- Facial structure
- Bite relationship
- Previous dental treatment
- Smile goals
- Long-term restorative plan
Advanced imaging allows us to evaluate your anatomy in three dimensions before recommending treatment.
Some patients benefit from traditional implants combined with bone grafting, while others may be better candidates for zygomatic implants or a combination of both.
Our recommendations are based on achieving the safest, most predictable, and longest-lasting outcome—not simply the fastest solution.
Every zygomatic implant case begins with meticulous planning.
Using Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging and advanced digital planning software, we create a detailed three-dimensional map of your facial anatomy. This allows us to evaluate the relationship between your upper jaw, cheekbones, sinuses, and surrounding structures before surgery begins.
When indicated, remaining failing teeth are removed and the implants are placed during the same procedure. Depending on your treatment plan, traditional implants may also be placed in areas with adequate bone to support a full-arch restoration.
Many patients receive a temporary fixed set of teeth shortly after surgery while the implants heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. Once healing is complete, your restorative dentist fabricates the final custom restoration designed specifically for your smile.
Every treatment plan is individualized to maximize long-term function, stability, and esthetics.
Bone Grafting & Ridge Preservation
Rebuilding the Foundation for a Strong, Healthy Smile
Healthy bone is the foundation of a healthy smile. Whether you’re planning for a dental implant, replacing a missing tooth, or recovering from tooth loss or injury, having enough healthy jawbone is essential for long-term function, stability, and esthetic results.
Unfortunately, bone loss begins soon after a tooth is removed. Over time, the jawbone naturally shrinks because it no longer receives stimulation from the tooth root. Infection, periodontal disease, trauma, and long-term denture wear can accelerate this process.
Bone grafting is a procedure designed to rebuild or preserve the jawbone, helping create a stronger foundation for future treatment.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we use advanced imaging, digital treatment planning, and evidence-based grafting techniques to restore lost bone and prepare patients for successful dental implant treatment. Whether you need a small graft after a tooth extraction or more advanced reconstruction, our goal is to provide treatment that supports lasting oral health and predictable outcomes.
Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds or preserves the jawbone when natural bone has been lost or is expected to shrink after tooth removal.
A bone graft serves as a scaffold that encourages your body to generate new bone over time. As healing occurs, your own bone gradually replaces and integrates with the graft material, creating a stronger foundation for future treatment.
Depending on your needs, bone grafting may be performed:
- At the time of a tooth extraction
- Before dental implant placement
- During implant placement
- To rebuild areas of previous bone loss
- As part of full-arch implant treatment
Every patient has unique needs, and the type of graft recommended depends on your anatomy, treatment goals, and long-term restorative plan.
Bone grafting is recommended when there isn’t enough healthy bone to properly support future treatment.
Common reasons include:
- Preparing for dental implants
- Preserving bone after a tooth extraction
- Bone loss from periodontal disease
- Long-term missing teeth
- Facial trauma
- Previous infection
- Failed dental implants
- Congenital jaw deficiencies
- Improving support for dentures
- Rebuilding areas of significant bone loss
Many patients are surprised to learn that preserving bone immediately after an extraction can reduce the need for more extensive grafting later.
You may benefit from bone grafting if:
- You’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants.
- You’re planning to replace a missing tooth with an implant.
- A tooth needs to be removed and future implant placement is planned.
- You’ve experienced bone loss from gum disease.
- You’ve worn dentures for many years.
- You’ve lost bone following trauma or injury.
During your consultation, we perform a comprehensive evaluation using advanced imaging to determine whether grafting would improve your long-term treatment outcome.
Not every patient needs bone grafting. Our recommendation is always based on what will provide the safest, most predictable, and longest-lasting result.
Bone grafting isn’t a one-size-fits-all procedure. Depending on your needs, we may recommend one of several approaches.
Ridge Preservation
When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone naturally begins to shrink. Ridge preservation is performed immediately after extraction to help maintain the natural shape and volume of the jawbone.
This procedure often improves future implant placement and esthetic outcomes.
Ridge Augmentation
If significant bone has already been lost, ridge augmentation rebuilds the width or height of the jaw to create a stronger foundation for implants.
Guided Bone Regeneration
Specialized barrier membranes may be used alongside bone graft material to encourage new bone growth while preventing surrounding soft tissue from interfering with healing.
Bone Grafting During Implant Placement
In some situations, minor bone grafting can be performed at the same time a dental implant is placed, reducing the number of surgical procedures required.
Sinus Lift Surgery (Sinus Augmentation)
Creating the Foundation for Successful Dental Implants
If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone in your upper jaw for dental implants, you may still have excellent treatment options.
After upper back teeth are lost, the jawbone naturally begins to shrink over time. At the same time, the maxillary sinus—a naturally occurring air-filled space located above the upper teeth—gradually expands into the area where those teeth once existed. As a result, there may not be enough healthy bone remaining to securely support a dental implant.
A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a specialized bone grafting procedure that gently creates additional bone beneath the sinus, providing a stable foundation for future dental implants.
At Christiansen Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, we use advanced three-dimensional imaging, digital treatment planning, and evidence-based surgical techniques to help patients safely rebuild bone and restore their smiles with confidence.
A sinus lift is a procedure designed to increase the amount of bone in the upper back jaw.
The maxillary sinuses are natural, air-filled spaces located above your upper molars and premolars. When these teeth are lost, the surrounding jawbone gradually shrinks while the sinus slowly enlarges into the empty space.
A sinus lift gently elevates the thin membrane lining the sinus and places bone grafting material beneath it. Over time, your body incorporates the graft material and develops healthy new bone capable of supporting dental implants.
Rather than treating the sinus itself, the procedure creates the foundation needed for successful implant placement.
For many patients, a sinus lift makes dental implants possible when there would otherwise be insufficient bone.
A sinus lift is recommended when there is not enough bone in the upper jaw to securely support a dental implant.
Common reasons include:
- Long-term missing upper teeth
- Natural bone loss after tooth extraction
- Enlargement of the maxillary sinus over time
- Previous periodontal (gum) disease
- Trauma affecting the upper jaw
- Congenitally thin upper jawbone
- Preparing for dental implants
- Full-arch implant treatment
Many patients have no symptoms of bone loss and are surprised to learn they need a sinus lift only after planning for dental implants.
Not every patient missing an upper tooth requires sinus augmentation.
During your consultation, we carefully evaluate:
- Amount of remaining bone
- Sinus anatomy
- Overall health
- Gum health
- Medical history
- Smoking status
- Planned implant location
- Long-term restorative goals
Using a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan, we precisely measure your available bone and determine whether a sinus lift would improve the long-term success of your implant.
Our goal is never to perform unnecessary procedures. If adequate bone already exists, we’ll recommend the simplest treatment that provides the most predictable result.
Every sinus lift begins with careful digital planning.
Following your consultation and CBCT evaluation, we determine the safest surgical approach based on your anatomy.
During the procedure, a small opening is created in the side of the upper jawbone to access the sinus membrane. The membrane is gently elevated, creating space for carefully selected bone grafting material.
The graft is then stabilized beneath the sinus, where your body gradually replaces it with healthy new bone over the following several months.
Depending on the amount of existing bone, a dental implant may sometimes be placed during the same appointment. In other situations, additional healing time is recommended before implant placement.
Every treatment plan is individualized to maximize long-term success.
