Sinus Lift, Sherman Oaks, CA

A key to success in implant dentistry is the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is to be placed. The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. If you have lost bone in that area due to reasons such as periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may be left without enough bone to place implants. Dr. Delaram Hanookai can recommend a sinus augmentation to help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants.
