How long does a sinus augmentation procedure take?
The visit to perform a sinus augmentation procedure is approximately 1 -1.5 hours.
Will the sinus augmentation procedure hurt?
Only "novocaine" is necessary to perform a sinus augmentation procedure. During the visit you will feel nothing once the area has been numbed. When the "novocaine" wears off there will be some mild discomfort. Medication will be prescribed to control any discomfort you might experience. The procedure will not cause you to miss work, etc.
What is the cost of a sinus augmentation procedure?
The cost of a sinus augmentation procedure will vary the situation. However Dr. DiGillorenzo will ensure that matter is discussed with you thoroughly before receiving treatment.
How long do I have to wait after a sinus augmentation procedure is performed before having the implants?
Depending upon your individual situation, the implants be placed at the time the sinus augmentation process performed. If the implants are not placed at that, you would wait 6-10 months after the sinus augmentation procedure to place the implants, depending on your individual situation.
How well do sinus augmentation procedures work?
Sinus augmentation procedures are highly predictable, h studies reporting over 95% success. It is important realize that if the sinus augmentation procedure does not result in enough bone for implant placement, additional bone may be regenerated through a second sinus augmentation procedure at the time the implants are laced.
