Tell us about your nose and sinuses
Mention chronic sinusitis, nasal blockage, repeated infections or previous ENT surgery. The X-ray assessment may lead to a further evaluation before bone augmentation is considered.
Bring your previous scans and your list of medications. Also mention any travel or activities planned in the weeks that follow.
Planning for healing
Swelling and bruising may be more visible than after a single implant. Plan a suitable period of rest and follow the prescription and local care given to you by the surgeon.
The precautions are mainly intended to avoid pressure build-up in the sinus. When you can fly, dive, exercise again and how to blow your nose should be discussed for your case.
When can the implant be placed?
The implant can be placed during the sinus lift if the available support gives enough stability, or after a maturation phase. The final tooth then requires the implant to integrate and the prosthetic stages.
Worsening symptoms, unusual discharge or fever call for prompt contact with Dr Yousefpour. The information document also helps you prepare your questions about the risks.
This general information helps you prepare for your consultation. Treatment, its risks and aftercare instructions are adapted to your situation by the surgeon.
