In our most recent blog post, we took an in-depth look at what it meant to undergo a bone grafting procedure and why it might be necessary to help rebuild your lower jaw to support your future dental implants. Indeed, there are several different reasons you may have lost a tooth or were unable to have the issue addressed, but acting sooner rather than waiting is always going to offer you the better outcome. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist continues the discussion on rebuilding your bone structure and offers the benefits of a sinus lift.
Fortifying Your Upper Jaw
Whether you are aware of it or not, tooth loss can occur at any given time to any person. Indeed, it is most often caused by bacteria-related dental infections such as tooth decay or severe gum disease, but it can also occur as the result of a dental emergency caused by a physical accident or injury.
When you lose a tooth as an adult, however, it is important to have your oral structure replaced as timely as you can manage. This is because your teeth are considered permanent, and once they are gone, they are gone for good. Not only does this lead to a noticeable gap in your smile, but it can cause functional concerns as well when performing tasks such as biting, chewing, and eating.
To address these concerns, your dentist may recommend the help of dental implants. Beware, however, of the dangers that arise when waiting too long to seek treatment, including the effects of jawbone degradation and erosion. Ask our team today about your upper jaw fortification options and learn about the benefits of a sinus lift.
Providing Functional and Operational Benefits
Without the presence of teeth roots to help stimulate the jaw tissues, the area will begin to degrade over time. This can cause complications with future implant treatment, as there will not be enough healthy structure left to support the posts.
Your dentist might recommend a sinus lift in situations such as these in order to help you support dental implants and, eventually, be able to perform functional and operational tasks once more. To learn more about this process and how our team can help, give our office a call today.
Revitalizing your Facial Structures
The main purpose of your sinus lift or augmentation is to help increase the amount of bone present in the posterior maxilla, or the area that houses your molar and pre-molar teeth. Doing so helps to successfully receive and support implants, and we look forward to helping you.
