Sinus Augmentation | Chino , CA | Billy S. Liang, DDS

Sinus Augmentation

A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root which is attached to the jaw bone. Eventually, a replacement tooth or bridge will be firmly fixed to this root, restoring complete function to the tooth. The key to a successful and long-lasting implant is the quality and quantity of jawbone to which the implant will be attached. If bone has been lost due to injury or periodontal disease, a sinus augmentation can raise the sinus floor to allow for new bone formation.

In the most common sinus augmentation technique, a tiny incision is made near the upper premolar or molar region to expose the jawbone. A small opening is cut into the bone and the membrane lining the sinus on the other side of the opening is gently pushed upward. The underlying space is filled with bone graft material and the incision is closed. The bone which is used for this procedure may be from your own body or from a cadaver. Sometimes the dentist might use synthetic materials which can also stimulate bone formation. The implants are placed after healing has occurred; this will depend on the individual case. Sinus augmentation has been shown to increase the success of dental implant procedures.

"I feel I’m in the Best care by Dr Billy Lang and all his staff! Many thanks to Yvette, my hygienist, that cleans my teeth and educates me in caring for my teeth and puts me at ease. Thank you very much !"

Claudia Aguerre

"They are always on time which was extremely helpful while I was in college! I would schedule appointments in between classes and still be able to make it to the next class in time. I can be in and out of the office within an hour. I've never had to wait in the waiting room for longer than 5 minutes. I now love the dentist since coming to Liang's. Him and his team are so professional and very genuine. Personal shoutout to Yvette; she's been cleaning my teeth for the past 4 years and always does so with the biggest smile on her face!"

Catherine Lei

"Love my Dental Office! Dr Liang is super honest and conservative! My Hygienist, Dawn, is the best! Why? She is gentle, pays attention to detail, and gets my teeth sparkling clean every time!!! I am pretty picky because I was a Dental Assistant for 7 years, so I know great work and care when I experience it!"
