A bone is needed for the sinus lift and can come from either the individual’s own body, a cadaver, or a cow bone. Prior to the procedure, our dentists will take a series of X-rays to see what is below the surface and ensure a successful treatment. The proper form of anesthesia will be provided in order to maintain comfort and keep a stress-free environment. Following the oral surgery, your doctor will prescribe you any additional medications to avoid further pain or discomfort. A follow-up appointment is needed, and after the healing period is over, our dentists can schedule your dental implant procedure. Contact our Terrell Hills Dental team in San Antonio, TX, for more information regarding sinus lifts and similar treatment options. Our staff is happy to work with you to make a custom treatment plan to improve your smile.
