Check this case out !

Sinus augmentation (lift) done while leaving a (failing) bridge in place.

An incision was made around the abutment teeth and along the palate aspect of the pontic. The tissue under the pontic site was elevated laterally allowing the entire surgical site to be closed with a single interrupted suture. No vertical incisions were required.

The sinus could then heal under the bridge while leaving the patient with a good bite.

After the failing bridge was removed the area was ready for a dental implant.

The procedure went as planned 😌 safely with minimal disruption to the patients ability to function.

One of the most common problem we see at our office is receding gums.

Gum recession can be caused by trauma or gum disease- once it starts the concern become exposing the soft root of the tooth to bacterial build up, physical trauma or deterioration by acidic foods. This can be very detrimental to a tooth if left untreated. Fortunately there is a predictable and natural solution.
