Frequently Asked Questions

Can a sinus lift and implant be done at the same time?

Based on your oral health and the severity of your procedure, a dental implant may be able to be placed at the same time as a sinus augmentation. Research has repeatedly shown that sinus lift surgery increases your chances for successful implants that can last for years. When you come in for your first consultation, our team can evaluate your condition and decide whether these two procedures can be completed during the same appointment.

Does full mouth debridement hurt?

A full mouth debridement generally is an easy treatment that doesn’t cause too much pain. We also offer sedation dentistry to help patients feel more relaxed and at ease for the procedure.

Oral cleaning is a procedure that generally doesn’t hurt. There isn’t any real pain when food debris and plaque are removed and teeth are brushed thoroughly.
