A sinus lift, also called sinus augmentation, is a procedure that makes it easier to place dental implants. Some patients need dental implants but have suffered bone loss, thus not having sufficient bone support necessary for implants.
Gum disease affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth and eventually leads to tooth loss. The good news, though, is that gum disease is preventable and can be easily treated in the early stages of the disease. However, if untreated it can lead to the loss of bone and support structure around the teeth.
May is Older Americans Health Month. At DC Perio & Implants we recognize that healthy teeth and gums are an integral part of our older patients overall health. As we get older, the social aspect of our life becomes more important.
Women who are menopausal or post-menopausal may experience changes in their mouths. They may notice discomfort in the mouth, including dry mouth, pain and burning sensations in the gum tissue and altered taste, especially salty, peppery or sour.
